Ketchum/Crawford House - Court Street-Chemeketa Street Historic District - Salem, Oregon - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

Descrubed as a "9-room cottage," the Ketchum/Crawford House is a Colonial Revival-style structure built for Reverend Heber A. Ketchum for $2000 in 1906. The house is two-stories and distinguishing features include the side-gambreled roof and front-facing gambrel dormer. Rev. Ketchum sold the house to Henry and Ada Crawford in 1917. A prominent Salem resident, Crawford was a Field Representative for the Ladd & Bush Bank (whose historic building is on the National Register) and played a major role in financing several agricultural industries in the Willamette Valley. Crawford also served as Salem's postmaster from 1934 to 1945. Crawford added 80 acres to Silver Creek Falls Park (including the north falls) when he purchased the land and donated it to the park.
