Johnson Barn

July 28, 2020 by Lake Oswego Preservation Society

Johnson Barn, Circa 1910
Location: 490 G Avenue

Materials:

Cultural Resources Inventory Field Form 1988-1989
Historic Resource Survey Form 2016

This barn was once part of a farm complex, which covered most of the block between 4th and 5th  Street.  Clifford “Happy” Johnson, the first early postal carrier to procure a delivery wagon, used it as a horse barn.  Johnson was also the first postal carrier to use an automobile in the area.  This building is significant as the last remaining barn in the First Addition Neighborhood and one of the last of its type in the city.  The Johnson Barn is typical of early 20th  century barns usually located in more populated areas.
