Who knew that Oswego Lake had a Golden Age of Hollywood Connection?

On the north side of the main lake there is a beautiful original French country inspired cream colored home with greenish trim with an amazing story to tell. It is called “Casablanca” which translates to “white house”.

Who we are

The Lake Oswego Preservation Society is an all volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is: To preserve, protect and advocate for Lake Oswego’s built heritage and historic assets. Our vision is: A Lake Oswego that embraces the social, economic and environmental benefits of historic preservation.

Your contribution—no matter the amount—makes a difference! The Society does not have paid staff and we don’t own a building so 100 percent of your donation is dedicated to our mission.

The Society has received recognition, both locally and statewide, for our historic preservation advocacy on behalf of Lake Oswego landmarks.

Visit our Museum

We invite you to visit the Iron Workers Cottage Museum located at 40 Wilbur Street, Lake Oswego. It’s housed in the City of Lake Oswego’s last remaining Iron Company Worker’s Cottage. The circa 1880 building is the oldest house in Lake Oswego that is open to the public.
