When visiting Brownsville, make sure to make a stop at the historic Moyer House.
The elegant old Moyer House has spent more than 100 years overseeing the life and development of one of Oregon's oldest pioneer communities, Brownsville Oregon.
Built in 1881, the house was built by J.M Moyer, who was married to Elizabeth Brown, the daughter of founding father Hugh L. Brown, after whom Brownsville was later named.
The house was originally built on seven acres, extending toward the Calapooya River and Brownsville's present
City Park.
Twelve foot ceilings, a white Italian marble fireplace, and curved walnut banisters decorated the inside, while elaborate trims and heavily bracketed cornices adorned the Italianate exterior.

I love cities like Brownsville that embrace their history and preserve for the world to see instead of tearing it down in the name of progress.
