- Note
- Constructed between 1907 and 1917 by owner John Arnold, the Arnold-Park Log Home embodies the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement as reflected in unique owner-designed and built log-and-frame residences. Created in the tradition of a rural recreational retreat, the log home served as an escape from the stress of early twentieth century Portland life. Although the log home shares some characteristics of other rustic log cabins constructed during this same period, the building also displays Craftsman style details and is significantly more refined on both the exterior and interior. Although Arnold only resided full-time in the house for the last two years of his life, the David and Nancy Park family resided at the property from 1951 to 2004. In 2004, the property was transferred to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and became part of Tryon Creek State Park. Source: Oregon SHPO.
