A Special House in The Dalles
This house was built in 1927. It has a cool style called Tudor Revival. Two important people who worked in business and industry lived here.
The First Owners
One of the first owners was John G. Heimrich. He lived here from 1927 to 1931. John was a leader in building smaller train lines called short line railroads in Oregon. His career changed as cars and trucks, which use internal combustion engines, became more popular. These new vehicles made short train lines less needed.
The Seufert Family
Later, Edward Seufert lived in the house from 1933 to 1966. Edward managed a cannery. A cannery is a factory where food, like fish, is sealed in cans to keep it fresh. His family was very involved in the Columbia River salmon fishery. This means they were part of the business of catching and selling salmon.
The House's Design
The house was first designed by Eugene C. Price. He taught himself how to be an architect. An architect is someone who designs buildings. Eugene Price was well-known in the Pacific Northwest during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
When Edward Seufert bought the house, he had it updated. The company Barrett & Logan helped with the changes. They added more details that made the house look even more like the Tudor Revival style. By the late 1900s, many people thought it was the most beautiful Tudor-style house in The Dalles.
A Historic Landmark
Because of its history and special design, the Heimrich–Seufert House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 1, 1990. This list includes important buildings, sites, and objects that are worth saving.
