Fairchild House Forest Grove

This simple box gable roof house was built by the Fairchild sons for their parents. The house was built around 1905 and is still located on the southwest corner of S. Alpine Street and 10th Avenue. This is a three-quarter view of the house. A bearded man and a woman are standing in front of the porch along with what looks like a Border Collie. The man is wearing dark clothing and a dark jacket. The woman is wearing a white blouse and dark full length skirt. All three are looking at the photographer. A wire fence starts at the back and goes along the side and across the front of the house with a gate close to the porch. There is a hand pump and well back by the leanto, a new addition from the earlier photograph (FHFG_pic168). There is approximately a one foot drop from the property to the street which is packed dirt. Some boards for walking on lead from the left of the fence to the gate. In the background to the right of the house a house and outbuildings can be seen.
