Zumwalt House
This was the residence of Issac Zumwalt, who came from a large family that first settled in the Bethel-Danebo neighborhood after coming to Oregon in 1851. This Eastlake style cottage was built in the late 1880's on the southeast corner of 7th and Madison, the corner now occupied my Midas Muffler Shop.

Sammuel J. Bonnett Residence
This faded old photo is of the Samuel J. Bonnett residence, which stood on the north side of 7th Avenue just east of Charnelton Street, about where the Bankruptcy Court Building now stands. The house was a two story, square frame dwelling with a "hipped" style roof, ornamented eaves and porch trim. Family members pose on the porch in foreground. Bonnett was a farmer; he was born in 1814 and died in 1904.
