Residence in Forest Grove
Title
Residence in Forest Grove
Description
Photograph of a two story house known as the VerHoven House, built in 1900. The front porch goes across the entire front of the house and almost half way down the right side with another door at the end of the porch. The house has a hip roof with two gables in the front above the porch with a double sash window in each gable. The second story front wall is flush with the front of the porch making the second story overhang the ground floor in the front. A girl, maybe three years old, is sitting on the porch with her feet on a lower step. She is holding a stuffed toy bear sitting beside her and she is looking at the camera. There is a stroller and a bentwood rocking chair on the porch. A new wood building is being built to the left of this house. The sidewalk is made of wood. This house still stands on the north side of 15th Avenue between Douglas Street and Elm Street. Mr. VerHoven used part of his lot for the Forest Grove Floral Company.
