Note
The First Baptist Church became the headquarters of the John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts in 2001. The Shedd is the home of the Oregon Festival of American Music. Frederick Manson White (1863-1952) was an architect in Portland responsible for many distinctive commercial, religious, and educational buildings throughout Oregon. He reportedly was educated at Cornell University, MIT, and the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He was associated 1889-1892 with the architecture firm, McCaw & Martin. White’s works in Portland include the Hotel Imperial I (Plaza Hotel, Hotel Vintage Plaza), the Auditorium and Music Hall, the Flatiron Building, and the Central Presbyterian Church. Elsewhere in Oregon, works include Agate Hall, University of Oregon (Eugene), the Shedd Institute of the Arts (First Baptist Church, Eugene), the First Presbyterian Church (Medford), Woodrow Wilson Junior High School (Lincoln Condominiums, Eugene), and the City Hall, Seaside. White retired from practice in 1933.
