Willamette Valley & Coast Railroad Depot,

700 SW Washington Avenue (Depot Suites)
(Moved)
n
This 1885 depot is a rare surviving example of an early Corvallis
wooden depot, and the only local example of Swiss Chalet style. The
depot served the Willamette Valley & Coast Railroad line to Yaquina Willamette Valley & Coast Railroad Depot
Bay. Privately adapted for new use, Depot Suites provides meeting
space and short-stays in historically sensitive spaces. wV

J. O. Wilson House, 340 SW 5th Street % i .

Architect, A. F. Peterson designed the extravagantly detailed 1891
Queen Anne style house for James O. Wilson. Over the years, the house
and its garden fell into disrepair. Rescued by a visionary owner, both
the building exterior and interior were painstakingly rehabilitated. The J.O. Wilson House mm
garden that still included early plantings, was equally well-restored.

Union Pacific Railroad Passenger Depot,
603 NW 2nd Street (Spaghetti Factory)
(Moved twice)

ML
Originally located at 9th and Washington Street, the 1910 California
Mission style passenger station was hauled by mules to 6th Street Union Pacific Railroad Passenger Depot
between Madison and Monroe in 1917, where it became Corvallis
Police headquarters in 1956. By 1982, the depot was in disrepair and
threatened with demolition. Private investors then purchased the
Depot and moved it north of the Harrison Street Bridge fronting the
Willamette River. Today it serves the community as a restaurant.
