Lumber Heritage of Springfield, Oregon: 1901-1970
Carter L. 2017. Lumber Heritage of Springfield, Oregon: 1901-1970. City of Springfield, Oregon; Oregon State Historic Preservation Office
From introduction: "This document is the second phase of a study that focuses solely on the lumber industry history and related resources of the City of Springfield. The first phase, completed in 2015, covered the nineteenth century from 1848 to 1901; this second phase addresses the growth of the industry in the twentieth century from 1901 through about 1970. Although the focus is on the lumber industry, a brief general community history and overall context is provided, and draws heavily from the previous city-wide studies prepared of 1991 and 1999. The introductory and general information sections of this context document are derived directly from the earlier contexts; the Historical Background and Resource Identification sections utilize the previous studies, and build on them to provide a closer look at the specific theme of twentieth century lumber-industry heritage in the community." Project funding was provided in part by a 2016 Historic Preservation Fund grant to City of Springfield (project number OR-16-19) administered by the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P16AF00069) and the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Springfield, Oregon is a Certified Local Government.
