A photograph of the Queen Anne style house at 1504 Elm Street in Forest Grove, OR. It was built in 1893 by Charles Keep, a local landowner. According to the Friends of Historic Forest Grove, this house was likely built by Keep as a symbol for the new "South Park" district, which had been just been added to the town in 1891. Keep did not live in this house; he resided nearby to the southwest. This house was sold soon after construction to Frank Davey, who sold it in 1894 to the local banker, E. W. Haines, who lived there for less than two years. Numerous other early residents stayed for short periods of time including Lavina Watt, the Agnete Staehr family, and others.
This house is locally known as the "Barnes House," the "Marble House," or the "South Park House." The reason for its association with the famous bow-maker Frank Barnes is unknown, however. Barnes lived in a home on what is now 19th Avenue, and he does not appear in any city directories, censuses or in the line of title connected with this house. The name "Marble House" was bestowed by the Marble Family, who owned it from 1965-1999. The house is now called the "South Park House," after its location in the South Park Addition.
This house, facing Elm Street, is somewhat narrow in the front but with a large gable on the left facing the front and a third story tower on the right it looks large. There is a roofed window bay on the first floor below the gable. The porch starts at the end of the gable and looks to go around to the right side of the house. The porch has its own roof. This view is from the northeast corner of the house showing the right side. On this side is another roofed window bay and a covered side back porch. There is another large gable on this side. A picket fence goes across the front of the house and down the right side. The sidewalk could be wood or concrete. The street is packed dirt.
