Description
"Original Wasco County Courthouse, The Dalles, Oregon" by Catherine Sherman.
The original Wasco County, Oregon, courthouse was built in The Dalles in 1859, the same year that Oregon became a state.
The building served as a courthouse until until 1883 when a second, larger courthouse was built. The original courthouse became the city hall for The Dalles. In 1909 it was deemed too small to serve as a city hall, so it was moved to a new location where it became a rooming house.
It was threatened with destruction a couple of times, moved a few more times, and now hopefully is safe at its new location on West Second Place.
