Sidewalk Concrete, Part 3
Today is the third part of the mini downtown sidewalk tour provided by guest photographer Jon Goodman (see also: part 1 and part 2). Today’s photo marks a sidewalk made in 1912. Jon’s description:
Another crumbling memory from the past, this one on Florence St., alongside the old Stayton Hardware building.
Thanks, Jon, for this walk through the history of Stayton. I appreciate it.

Old Highway

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of something I’d never seen. The photo was taken where E. Santiam St. meets Highway 22 just east of town. Jon’s description: Another in my series of disappearing old landmarks. This is a piece of the old North Santiam Hwy that was replaced by Hwy22 back in More >
Digging Up A Mystery

Guest photographer Jon Goodman has a question about the photo above: Found this weird rock embedded in the stump of an old apple tree we had dug out a couple weeks ago. It kind of looks like petrified rot. It is very sharp almost like a pumice stone. Any ideas about what it is? Heck More >
The Brown House In White

It’s been several months since I last posted a progress update photo of the Charles & Martha Brown House, currently being renovated by a group of volunteers (read more about it on the Brown House web site). It’s come a long way since I last photographed it back in July of last year. New paint, More >

We have another downtown sidewalk photo from guest photographer Jon Goodman (see yesterday’s photo). His description: Another sidewalk shot. About 1910 apparently they were poring a lot of sidewalks downtown and one of the things they did was stencil the street names in the concrete. I’ve been paying more attention on my walks and have More >

Guest photographer sent along a few photos showing some interesting aspects of our very old sidewalks in the downtown area, so I thought I’d run them over the next handful of days. Jon’s description of today’s photo: I’ve been looking a lot at concrete lately, specifically our crumbling downtown sidewalks. Much of it is 100 More >

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of a wall of the old Stayton Feed building. I think that sits on 4th Ave., near where it meets Water St. I could be wrong. Thanks to Jon, as always. Photo is copyright © Jon Goodman. All rights reserved. Do not copy or reproduce in any More >
Spiffy Old Door

I’m stealing (with permission) another of guest photographer John Brandt’s photos today, because I think it’s spiffy. This garage door sits on the corner of 2nd and Water St., on the side of an auto repair business. As John puts it, this door “helps demonstrate why we support adding this area to an urban renewal More >
In Detail

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo. His description: This is an addition to your 3rd avenue photos from the other day. This is a detail shot showing the cool crown and dentil trims on the buildings. I love the detail. The angle of the shot really highlights the two different buildings. From what More >

Here’s a random photo of a random sidewalk on a random part of 3rd Ave. in the historic downtown area of Stayton. I took this between Jensen-Kreitzer and the Friends of the Library Used Book Store.
Reminder Of The Old Days
about 7 months ago - 3 comments
Guest photographer Jon Goodman provided today’s photo. His description (and question): I believe these are piers from the old bridge that crossed the Santiam, south of town. Replaced in the mid sixties? Maybe someone a little older than me could give a more exact date. I’m curious, as well. I’ve never seen this area before. More >

Celine and Jon. Just a minor correction. The building he referred to is the “Old Santiam Hardware and Implement Store which was owned and operated for many years by May and Chris Nietling after whom the Nietling Park is named. Great picture! I love those old reminders of the “old down town Stayton.”
Thank you.

To further clarify, this is one of only two Stayton buildings included on the National Histortic register. It’s the Deidrich Building. The other one is the Charles and Martha Brown house.
