Ermatinger House

Check out the new mobile version of Online Highways with compact, up-to-the-minute information for Oregon City.

Francis Ermatinger had this house built, currently the oldest house in Clackamas County, for his family in 1845. This was the first frame house built in Oregon City and only the third in the entire Oregon Country. It is also unusual in that it is the only two story Federal-style house in the state with a flat roof.

Asa Lawernce Lovejoy and Francis W Pettygrove flipped a coin here to decide the name of the city that is now Portland.
