This great shot shows plainly just how enormous the Underwood House on Willamette Street was. As noted in an earlier post the house stood for many years on the east side of Willamette near the middle of the block across from the current downtown post office. Note the large main block of the house fronting Willamette and then the service wing behind which connected to the carriage house in the back. Connected barns and carriages houses were usually features in New England homes where in-climate weather made getting to out buildings treacherous in the winter months.
