The 134-year old Frantz-Dunn House in Hoskins. Oregon is an intact, well-preserved
example of rural Gothic architecture in the Willamette Valley. The old farmstead sits on a
former Civil War Fort site and represents a link in the history of the region to the larger
patterns of expansion in America during the nineteenth century. This study focuses on the
family history of three generations of occupants of the historic dwelling. The information
was gathered from extant materials and official documents, historic publications, local
museum collections, visual observation of the house and from interviews with the
relatives of the pioneer families and selected Hoskins residents. Special interest was paid
to the interior furnishings and finishes in the interest of the material culture of the house.
Interior furnishings were discussed from interview and extant elements.
Recommendations for further study of this and other historic houses with focus on the
interior material culture of are given. / Graduation date: 2006 / Best scan available for photos.
