Architecture
The Ermatinger House has the distinction of being in the 3rd oldest house in Oregon, and the oldest in Clackamas County. The house was built in 1843 by Dr. John McLoughlin for his step-granddaughter Catherine and her husband Francis Ermatinger, who was stationed in Oregon City as a representative of the Hudson's Bay Company. Explore the unique architectural features of the Ermatinger House, including its distinctive facade, and functional features. Tours are available Friday and Saturday every week.
