Springdale School (Corbett, Oregon)
Description
National Register of Historic Places (Listed, 2011), Constructed in 1931, the Springdale School is located at 32405 East Historic Columbia River Highway in Springdale, a community in unincorporated Multnomah County, approximately two miles west of Corbett, Oregon. The single-story Art Deco style building was designed by Portland architect Claud Freeman and constructed by Corbett builder Claude Woodle. The formally designed symmetrical facade represents the building’s educational function as a rural school that expanded as the surrounding community grew. Located on the Historic Columbia River Highway, the school’s presence is a visual and social landmark in the center of the Springdale community. ... Although renovations and additions have occurred throughout the history of the Springdale School, the integrity of the original 1931 building is apparent, along with the changes that occurred during the property’s period of significance to accommodate growth in the community. The property maintains excellent integrity of location, setting, association, feeling and workmanship, and good integrity of materials and design. The building clearly represents its role as a rural school. The front elevation, main entrance, concrete signage, and floor plan are obvious features of the educational facility. Prominent character-defining features of the building include the stucco exterior walls, Art Deco-detailed front entrance, corridors, and the interior auditorium with Douglas-fir floors. The additions further represent the building’s educational facility as direct responses to the school’s need to expand with population growth in the surrounding area. As the only school in Springdale, this building is the only resource associated with the community’s educational social history. Community events historically took place in the school’s classrooms, auditorium, basement, or outside on the school grounds. This association, an important feature of the Springdale School and its relationship to the community, is embodied in the building’s representation and character-defining features as a school, and a place for Springdale residents to learn, gather, and grow as a collective community.

Spring Valley School (Zena, Oregon)
Description
Built in 1907, the Spring Valley School is a rectangular, one-story building of wood frame construction that is located at the foot of the Eola Hills, approximately 9 miles NW of Salem, Oregon. One-room school houses were often one of the first public buildings constructed in pioneer settlements. They were treasured by the local residents not only for their educational value but many times also for providing a gathering place for the entire community, children and adults. The Spring Valley School/Community Center has served both of these historic needs for over 100 years, from the original source of education beginning in 1907 to 1952 and then as a neighborhood gathering location up to the current time. Very few alterations have occurred since it ceased being used as a school house. The building is still largely a showcase of the original purpose and for the architectural style that was common at the time it was built., National Register of Historic Places (Listed, 2018), This content is included in Building Oregon: Architecture of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, a digital collection which provides documentation about the architectural heritage of the Pacific Northwest.
