Trevitt House

 

Trevitt House (1868)
216 W. 4th St., The Dalles

There is conflicting research as to whether Victor Trevitt occupied this house. The house is nonetheless worthy as a locally rare example of its architectural style. Victor Trevitt (1827-1883) laid out a portion of The Dalles townsite known as Trevitt’s Addition in c. 1860.

Mill Creek

Mill Creek
Lewis and Clark applied the name “Que-neet Creek,” or “Que-nett,” to a small stream on the southern shore of the Columbia. Local indians told them the name meant “salmon trout.” The current name derived from the establishment of a sawmill on the stream during the military occupation at Fort Dalles, and the lumber sawed at the mill was used in construction of the Fort and several early homes and businesses built in The Dalles.
