Bald Peak State Scenic Viewpoint

Bald Peak State Scenic Viewpoint is a state park located atop Bald Peak located in Yamhill County, in the United States. The day use only park offers picnic tables and a hiking trail for views of the Willamette Valley and the Cascade Range. The state of Oregon acquired the 26 acres (11 ha) in 1931, after Yamhill and Washington counties requested a park from the state. History Bald Peak was acquired by the state in 1931 after county officials in Washington and Yamhill counties lobbied the state parks commission for a state park for the two counties. The land was purchased from Samuel Otto on June 4, 1931, with the park originally named Bald Peak State Park. During the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps built picnic tables, restrooms, and a parking area at the site. In the mid-1930s, an annual service on Easter began at the park, organized by local churches that continues to be held as of 2019. In 1939, the location was considered by the parks department as a memorial to the pioneer women of Oregon. State officials decided against this location due to the lack of water and its isolated location away from major roads. In 1996, the park was one of over 50 parks that the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department proposed closing due to a state budget deficit that reduced funding for the department. However, Bald Peak and the other parks remained open after political pressure forced the department to reconsider their plans. Details Bald Peak is on top of the Chehalem Mountains at an elevation of 1,629 feet (497 m) above sea level, the highest point in the mountain range. The closest community to the 26-acre (11 ha) park is Laurelwood, Oregon, with the park generally situated between the cities of Hillsboro to the north and Newberg to the south near the county boundary line between Yamhill and Washington counties. At the park are restrooms, picnic tables, parking, a trail, a forest with Douglas fir trees, but no drinking water. In clear weather, the park offers views of Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, Mount Jefferson, Mount Adams, and Mount Rainier. The viewpoint also gives panoramas of the Tualatin Valley to the north of the park and the Yamhill Valley to the south, with both valleys being parts of the larger Willamette Valley.

Ballou & Wright Company Building

The Ballou & Wright Company Building is a historic warehouse building located at 327 NW 10th Avenue in Downtown Portland, Oregon. It was designed by Sutton & Whitney and its construction was completed in 1921, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1987. Design Details It is a five-story, reinforced concrete historic warehouse building. It is significant "as one of the best-preserved large-scale, loft-type warehouses in the city; one which is distinguished by the quality of its exterior finish of sand grey brick on street elevations and its detailing in general. The square corner sprinkling tank and elevator tower at the northwest corner of the warehouse, also finely detailed, is a distinguishing and increasingly rare feature locally. Strip pilasters between structural bays are banded with contrasting cast-stone string courses, and the parapet is ornamented with the Ballou & Wright Company's distinctive logogram: an escutcheon displaying a winged wheel." Ballou & Wright The Ballou & Wright Company was originally a bicycle dealer in Great Falls, Montana. It was founded by Oscar. B. Ballou (1853–1946), originally from Massachusetts, and Charles F. Wright (1877–1958), originally from Kansas. They had set up shop in Portland by 1902, and were carrying selling bicycles from lesser known bicycle manufacturers Tribune, Cleveland, Imperial, and others. In 1904 they were carrying bicycles from popular maker Pierce, and by 1905 they had added Rambler models and begun to carry automobile supplies. By 1909 they had begun to sell motorcycles part, and by the following year they had become a west coast distributor for Indian Motorcycles. They took on the Emblem motorcycle distributorship for Oregon and Wasthington (state) in 1913. By 1916 their motorcycle business was big enough that they would receive railroad cars full of new Indian motorcycles - 66 motorcycles in one published case. The rapid growth of the firm led to Ballou & Wright Company becoming the leading wholesaler of bicycles, motorcycles and automobile parts in the northwest region of the United States. The rapid growth meant the firm outgrew multiple facilities, and eventually to have a large building designed for them in 1917. Likely because of World War I, and the recession after the war, the construction of the building was delayed, and it was not finished until late 1921. On December 30, 1921, they held an open house with over 600 guests attending. The company eventually grew to have 12 branch offices with locations opening in major cities like Seattle, Washington (1913), Spokane, Washington (1920), and Tacoma, Washington (1936). The firm disbanded in 1960, about two years after the death of Charles Wright. Oscar Ballou had died in 1946. References
Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge

Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge is a U.S. National Wildlife Refuge on Oregon's coast. It is one of six National Wildlife Refuges comprising the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex and is renowned among bird watchers for being able to view rare shorebirds including ruff, Hudsonian godwit, and Mongolian plover. The refuge was last expanded in 1999, it now has 889 acres (3.60 km2) in two units: Bandon Marsh and Ni-les'tun. Recreation Bandon Marsh is popular for hunting, fishing, clamming, birding and photography. The wildlife refuge protects the largest tidal salt marsh in the Coquille River estuary. The mudflats are rich in clam, crab, worm, and shrimp and attracts migrating shorebirds, waterfowl, coho salmon, as well as the California brown pelican. More common shorebird species include western and least sandpiper, semipalmated plover, black-bellied plover, Pacific golden plover, red phalarope, whimbrel, dunlin. The Ni-Les'tun Unit The Ni-les'tun unit is a habitat restoration project which will eventually benefit fish and wildlife. In consists of intertidal and freshwater marsh, and riparian land. It also protects a 4,500-year-old Native American archaeological site of the Coquille Indian Tribe. The Refuge is planning a marsh restoration for this unit where an influx of saltwater and freshwater will allow a revival of mudflats and marsh plants, and interconnecting tidal channels will bisect the wildlife habitat south of the overlook deck. As the land returns to a functioning intertidal marsh, flocks of seasonally driven migratory birds and young fish will use the restored habitat. There are several overlooks, as well as access for hunters, birders, fishermen, and clammers. State and federal regulations are in effect. The Marsh is located just north of Bandon, on the north side of the Coquille River across from Bullards Beach State Park.

Beaverton Foursquare Church

The Beaverton Foursquare Church, known also as B4Church or B4, is a Foursquare Pentecostal church located in Beaverton, Oregon, United States. Worship services at B4Church used to draw approximately 3,000 people weekly from a congregation numbering nearly 6000 in its prime. History Beaverton Foursquare Church was founded by Bill Melton and his wife, Jean, in 1961. In 1964, the congregation purchased 10 acres (40,000 m2) along Walker Road, which was then on the outskirts of Beaverton. The initial building project started in 1966 with the chapel being completed in 1968. The new building was dedicated by Rolf McPherson, son of Aimee Semple McPherson who founded the Foursquare denomination. The average weekly attendance at that time was 75 people. In 1973, Ron Mehl took over leadership of the church. During his time of leadership, the weekly attendance increased to over 5,000 people. A number of new building projects were completed in order to accommodate the growth of the church. This growth also resulted in the Heart of the Word radio ministry, broadcasting the sermons from Pastor Mehl. The staff of the church also increased to include many pastors and other employees. By 2000, the church had grown to 6,000 and was the largest church in Oregon. Local Outreach B4Church hosts a monthly Foster Parents' Night Out (FPNO) event which aims to provide date nights, and a break, to local foster families. COVID-19 Response In response to COVID-19, B4Church partnered with other churches, the Beaverton School District, local government and the Oregon Food Bank to provide food boxes for hundreds of families in the area. During the COVID-19 pandemic, B4Church began providing worship services entirely online. Services are available on the church website from 7:30am every Sunday.

Beaverton pályaudvar

A Beaverton pályaudvar átszállópont az Oregon állambeli Beavertonban. Az állomásról autóbuszok, a Metropolitan Area Express gyorsvillamos kék- és piros vonalai, valamint a Westside Express Service helyiérdekű vasútvonal járatai indulnak; utóbbi kettőnek egyben nyugati-, illetve északi végállomása. A helyről gyalogosan megközelíthetővé tettek egy közeli bevásárlóközpontot. Történet A város első pályaudvara 1979 júniusában nyílt meg a jelenlegi pozíciótól 340 méterre délre. Az állomáson az akkori járatok között gyors átszállást biztosítottak. A jelenlegi létesítmény 1988. szeptember 4-én nyílt meg. A pályaudvar csak buszokat indít, a HÉV-állomás és a villamosmegálló külön helyezkednek el. A Metropolitan Area Express gyorsvillamos helyi megállóját 1994-ben kezdték építeni, és 1998. szeptember 12-étől lehetett használni a vonal többi részével együtt. Eredetileg csak egy járat állt meg itt, a Westside Line (Nyugati vonal, Hillsboro, Portland, belváros útvonalon; innen az Eastside (keleti) vonalra átszerelve Gresham felé közlekedett). A járatot 2001-ben kék vonalra nevezték át, 2003-tól pedig a piros vonal nyugati végállomása. 2009. február 2-án indult el a HÉV Wilsonville irányába, amelynek Beaverton az északi végállomása. Kialakítása Autóbuszok TriMet A TriMet által üzemeltetett vonalak: 20 – Burnside/Stark (►Gresham Central Transit Center) 52 – Farmington/185th Ave (►Springville Road) 53 – Arctic/Allen (►Southwest 15th Avenue) 54 – Beaverton/Hillsdale Hwy (►Broadway) 57 – TV Hwy/Forest Grove (►Pacific 19th) 58 – Canyon Road (►Goose Hollow/Southwest Jefferson Street) 61 – Marquam Hill/Beaverton (►Sam Jackson Park Road) 76 – Beaverton/Tualatin (►Legacy Meridian Park Hospital) 78 – Beaverton/Lake Oswego (►Lake Oswego Transit Center) 88 – Hart/198th Ave (►Edgeway Drive) Más szolgáltatók A South Metro Area Regional Transit (SMART), Wilsonville helyi szolgáltatója 2013. augusztus 5-én indította el 8X viszonylatú expresszjáratát, amely irányonként naponta egyszer közlekedik a két város között; célja, hogy a HÉV által ki nem szolgált időszakokban is igénybe vehető legyen a tömegközlekedés a két település között.

Belknap Bridge

The Belknap Bridge (also McKenzie River Bridge) crosses the McKenzie River near the unincorporated community of Rainbow in Lane County, Oregon, United States. It is approximately three miles west of the town of McKenzie Bridge which is named after the bridge. It is the fourth covered bridge built on the site. The bridge is well maintained and open to traffic. The Belknap Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History Lane County was the first in Oregon to build covered bridges on a large scale. Today, the county has more surviving covered bridges than any other county west of the Mississippi River, a total of 17 bridges, including 14 that are still open to traffic. There has been a covered bridge at the Belknap Bridge site since 1890 as four different bridge structures. The original Belknap Bridge was built in 1890 by Mr. T. Thomson. It was named for a pioneer family that settled in the McKenzie River area, Rollin S. Belknap, who discovered and developed Belknap Springs approximately nine miles upstream from the bridge. His son, J. H. Belknap, was involved in promoting a toll road over McKenzie Pass in the early 1870s. Traffic weakened the structure over time, so Lane County replaced it in 1911. The second bridge was replaced in 1939. That bridge, however, was destroyed in the Pacific Northwest flood of 1964. The current bridge opened in 1966. In 1975, louvered windows were added to the south side of the structure to improve the bridge's interior light. The bridge structure was strengthened and the exterior repaired in 1992. In 2002, a new roof was installed as part of a general bridge renovation project. Because of its unique scenic beauty and its importance to Oregon's transportation history, the Belknap Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Today, Lane County's Engineering Division maintains the covered bridges that are open to traffic, including the Belknap Bridge. Structure The current Belknap Bridge was designed for Lane County by the Oregon Bridge Corporation of Springfield, Oregon, as a classic covered bridge. It is 120 feet (37 m) long, containing a single span supported by a Howe truss system. Its maximum carrying capacity of 39 short tons (35 t) is to accommodate logging trucks. The bridge rests on two concrete foundation piers. Its wooden floor planks and shingled roof are in good condition, as is the weatherboard housing that protects the Howe truss infrastructure from the elements. Most of Oregon's covered bridges, including the Belknap Bridge, were built using the Howe truss system, developed in 1840 by the Massachusetts architect William Howe. The system uses heavy timbers reinforced with iron or steel rods. The trusses have central beams and crossed timbers with adjustable, vertical iron rods to support the structural load.

Belle Ainsworth Jenkins Estate

The Belle Ainsworth Jenkins Estate, located near Beaverton, Oregon, United States, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built starting in 1912, the main house on the property was intended as a summer home. The entire 68-acre (28 ha) estate is owned by the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD). The estate has eight buildings, including the main home and a farmhouse built in 1880. History Ralph and Belle Jenkins purchased the property for $7,000 in 1912 for what was intended to be their summer home. Belle was the daughter of John C. Ainsworth, a founder of the Oregon Steam Navigation Company, while Ralph had been a teacher. The Jenkins began construction on a large estate that year as an escape from the city. The English hunting lodge-style main home took three years to complete, and was in addition to the original farmhouse on the property. Other facilities on the estate included fine equestrian facilities, as well as gardens, a greenhouse, an ornamental pool, a tea house, a carriage house, and a water tower. Ralph Jenkins died in the 1950s; Belle died in 1963. Burt Muir inherited the property, but sold it to developers for what was planned to be a retirement community. Once the project failed due to a lack of water and sewer access, the developers put the estate up for sale. The Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District purchased the Jenkins estate in 1976 for $525,000. In 1978, the estate was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Belle Ainsworth Jenkins Estate. The Tualatin Valley Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society started working with THPRD in 1982 to restore the rhododendron garden on the property. The park district restored the property in 1989 at a cost of $178,000. Camp Rivendale, a camp for adults and children with disabilities, was created in the 1980s. Due to operating losses at the property, THPRD decided to outsource management of the events at the estate in 2013; Details Jenkins Estate covers 68 acres (28 ha) and contains 28 acres (11 ha) of gardens. The structures on the property are the main house, stable, carriage house, greenhouse, tea house, water tower, pump house, and the farmhouse. The 14,550-square-foot (1,352 m2) main house is L-shaped with a full basement. THPRD rents out the buildings for business meetings, weddings, and other events. The Herb Garden was created in 1985 with help from the Oregon School of the Blind and contains a Braille Garden planted with fragrant herbs.

Belmont Library

The Belmont Library is a branch of the Multnomah County Library, located in Belmont, Portland, Oregon. The original library building opened in 1924 and was expanded in 1937 with the addition of a children's room. The brick building had small round windows and large oak tables. Renovations during 1999–2000 nearly doubled the library's capacity. The branch offers the Multnomah County Library catalog of two million books, periodicals and other materials. The Belmont Library features a 24-person capacity meeting room for hosting community events at no charge on a first come, first served basis. A decorative quilt made by residents of the Sunnyside neighborhood is also housed within the building. History In 1923, residents of the Belmont and Hawthorne areas of southeast Portland raised funds to construct a library building at East 39th Avenue and Taylor Street (now S.E. César E. Chávez Blvd. and S.E. Taylor Street). The Library Association of Portland paid for the building plans. According to the association president, the Belmont effort was one of the first in Portland during which library users raised funds to erect a branch library building in their own neighborhood. The neighborhood presented the building debt-free to the association in early 1924, and the 2,924-square-foot (271.6 m2) library opened on March 7, 1924. Federal funds through the Works Progress Administration paid for expansion of the library in 1937. The addition of a children's room and staff work areas increased the building's floor area to 3,554 square feet (330.2 m2). Even so, circulation at the library continued to grow until the floor area was considered inadequate. In 1996, voters approved a bond measure to renovate the county's libraries and to pay special attention to four of them, including Belmont. The branch closed in June 1999 for remodeling and reopened in March 2000. The resulting expansion added 2,400 square feet (220 m2) to the library's floor area, bringing the total area to 5,954 square feet (553.1 m2). The renovated library can hold up to 20,000 volumes. Self-checkout stations and security gates were installed in 2011 during a minor renovation. Over the years the library has hosted numerous activities, including a children's jamboree, knitting groups, lectures and readings. The building also serves as a ballot drop-off site during elections. In 2023 the library averaged 2,300 items on hold per month, more than any other branch in the Multnomah County Library system. As of 2025, the library undergoing renovations to expand interior space with community rooms, a teenager area, and accessibility improvements, which are on schedule to finish by summer 2026.
