Oregon State Capitol edit

  • This is data needing returned to the article by the original author under applicable section not relevant to the new introduction: The Public Works Administration, part of the U.S. government, partially financed construction, which was completed during the Great Depression, in 1938. The building was erected at a cost of $2.5 million for the central portion of the building, which includes a dome of 166 feet (51 m). The wings, which doubled the floor space of the building to about 233,750 square feet (21,716 m2), were added later for $12.5 million. The grounds outside the capitol building contain artwork, fountains, and flora, including the state tree (Douglas fir) and state flower (Oregon grape).

    • All redundant data in the original edits in sections below. Names of flora and what not will be added later or on a page for the park specifically since the information is not inherent to the building but the mall. - TBD Darryl.P.Pike (talk) 19:48, 1 February 2018 (UTC)Reply


Materials edit

  • NRHP APP Sec 8 Page 74 - Clarification of a brand of marble used on the interior as "Radio Black" a brand name marketed by Vermont Marble Company quarried on an island in Lake Champlain. The name was changed due to its high usage in the Radio City Music Hall at Rockefeller Center. "Highland Danby White" is also a market name by the same company used on the exterior for its Vermont quarried stone.


Pioneer edit

  • It is noted (NRHP) during the earthquake in 1993 the base was 'rotated' as part of the damage. Did this affect the alignment of the statue's orientation and if so was it corrected or left as was? Darryl.P.Pike (talk) 18:10, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

George W. Le Breton (LeBreton) edit

It seems he is possibly agnostic or even somewhat atheist? I have read mention that he was not much with religion. Also, while reading along, it felt like the underlying message was that none of them were too much on discussing the subject with him either.
He died at Fort Vancouver from wounds he received in the gun, turning poison knife, fight erupting in Oregon City with the notorious Cockstock, who also died horrifically that day. This was no small event and there were lots of witnesses. I read in the History of the Willamette that any indication of his burial could not be found. I can not accept that DrJM would have that with such a brave and honorable man. DrJM was far to intelligent and did things for the justness of it. (the rifle incident) UNLESS, they had beef. (there is no mention thus far)
He was involved in every early meeting before his death. He was so valuable in his thinking and communication skills he was recruited specifically by the "wolf" committee to be clerk to have his direct participation. I read it was his idea to have people stand on each side of the room for the infamous 50-52 "majority" vote of a provisional government.
This man was so brave it is what got him killed. He would travel days alone if he was needed somewhere. He was the only one to accompany Himes(?) to settle the impending war with the Indians. The only one that showed up and went. He was a very skilled horseman and well seasoned to the hard life of the Oregon Country. He was only in his 30's when he died. Had he lived the effect of his involvement upon Oregon would have been immense IMO. This dude was all business and got (sh)it flippin DONE.
  • Did he have an estate? Any debts to DrJM or the HBC? He could not have just disappeared and had nothing without owing nothing. That would be zero. Humans do not leave zero on earth in any event. Darryl.P.Pike (talk) 17:12, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • George LeBreton, an American, who was chosen May 2, 1843, the Clerk or Recorder of the Supreme Court of the Provisional Government, came to Oregon, in 1840, on the Brig "Maryland," as supercargo, the brig being commanded by Captain John H. Couch. LeBreton made Oregon his home. - A Brief History of the Oregon Provisional Government and What Caused Its Formation

Oregon Institute edit

Willamette Mission Society edit

Created December 25, 1837 and collected a "liberal" amount of money for the Calapooyas. This was the beginnings of the Oregon Institute and the relocation to Chemekte. A building was begun (YEAR?) of brick (LIME)costing $3k, named Oregon Institute and subsequently sold to a farmer (NAME) for $4k. Society then purchased the Indian Manual Labor School from the Mission sale for $6k and transferred the name to it in (YEAR?). Darryl.P.Pike (talk) 16:56, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
