Bernard House, Forest Grove

Built in 1890, this house stands at 2520 18th Avenue in Forest Grove. This is a two story house with an attic and is a simple box and gable design. There is an outhouse in back of the house on the left side of the picture and a small barn is located to the right of the house. There are a couple of houses in the background behind the barn. There is a man, woman and child standing just inside the horizontal rail fence at the front of the house. A horse and young rider are in the street with another horse and man standing by the horse. The street is packed dirt with no curb or sidewalk. Around 1910, Francis Bernard and his second wife Jean and her two daughters lived in this house. Mr. Bernard was a self-employed teamster.

[back] [printed label] This house is still standing. 1st house east of the corner and just east of the corner house at Elm Street and the south side of 18th Avenue. When I was growing up it was occupied and owned by Mr. and Mrs. Bernard. Mrs. Bernard was Dora Smith’s mother. The family moved to Forest Grove from Gales Creek which was also the community of origin for Katherine Lilly Bump. (My mom.) Dora Smith was mother of 3 of our playmates when we were growing up in FG.
