Английская Википедия:Children's Farm Home School
Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Children's Farm Home School is a former school building on U.S. Route 20 in Oregon between Corvallis and Albany; it is located on a Шаблон:Convert campus now owned by Trillium Family Services.
The Children's Farm Home School was listed in 2008 on the National Register of Historic Places for Benton County; the listing was one of the first steps taken as part of a restoration effort that ended up taking five years.[1]
History
The Шаблон:Convert[2] Children's Farm Home School was built in 1925 by volunteers from among the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union membership, for the purpose of providing homes for orphans, neglected children,[2] and children whose families could not otherwise take care of them in the years leading up to the Great Depression.[1] Its pupils would go on to attend Corvallis High School.[2] It supported itself through proceeds from a cannery, dairy and slaughterhouse, as well as the sale of produce and nuts, grown on the property.[2]
The school closed in the 1980s.[2] In 1998, Children's Farm Home School merged with the Parry Center for Children and Waverly Children's Home (aka Waverly Baby Home) in Portland to form Trillium Family Services.[3]
Restoration
Restoration efforts began in 2008,[1] after $4.5 million was raised from donors including Dave and Penny Lowther of Philomath.[2] Bill Ryals of Modern Organic Architecture in Corvallis designed the improvements, assisted by Endex Engineering. T. Gerding Construction Co. were the general contractors,[2] helped by volunteers.[1] In 2011, an "unanticipated septic system upgrade" required Trillium Family Services to raise another million dollars.[2]
In July 2013, Children's Farm Home School reopened, with a basement converted to a family center and rooms where families can spend time together. A restaurant was also opened on the first floor. Classrooms have become conference rooms available to rent.[1] The renovation also features a banquet room, administrative offices, and a museum.[2]
