Description
A photograph of the Smith-Buxton-Caples House (also known as the I.L. Smith House), located at 1938 16th Ave, Forest Grove, OR. The image in this photograph is reversed left-to-right, possible due to a misprint of the negative.
According to the Oregon Historic Sites cultural resource inventory of this house: "This house is said to have been built by Irwin Smith around 1876. Smith was a partner with Mr. Buxton who later lived in the house with his family c. 1900. Buxton's daughter, Rena Buxton, married a Mr. Caples and continued to live in the house. Hence the local name 'Buxton/Caples House.' This structure is a simple example of the Italianate style of architecture which was popular in the United States c. 1840-1885."
This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album.
