construction
Prior Owners of Home

The land was originally owned by one of the founding fathers of Silverton, Aldolphus "Jake" McClaine. He sold the property to Sara Adeline Lee in 1895.
The construction on the home was finished some time between 1909 to 1910. It was a beautiful Victorian, but in the 1960's it was purchased by a family by the name of Furgeson. Mr. J.K. Furgeson was a logger and he owned his own company. Together with his wife Patricia "Patty" they raised their children in this home.
Some time durring their coarse of ownership they decided to convert this historical victorian beauty into the more modern arcitectual structure that we live in today. Looking at it now I believe that perhaps J.K. and Patty we trying to copy house designer Frank Llyod Wright. He was comissioned to build a home here in Silverton , the only one he ever built in Oregon which is now located at the Oregon Gardens.
So J.K. and Patty turned this house completely around adding and taking away until the stucture was unrecongnisable to the structure Mrs. Lee had built. The Furgesons used inported mediterainian Red ceramic tile on the spiral stair case walls. Red carpet streamming down the stairs, there were christal and brass chandeliers in the formal dinning room with red velvet draperies...aparently Patty liked red. Even the kitchen counter tops are done in Red tile. She obviously had rich taste and J.K. barred nothing to make her happy.
Unfortunatly after J.K. passed away and Patty held on to her life with out him, she developed demensia and was moved to a nursing home. The home she loved left abandoned and uncared for. To pay for her care the family, left with no choice; put the house up for sale. It sat with few intrested buyers for 2 years. Thats when I saw it for the first time on a realators website. I fell in love instantly. I told My Husband that I wanted to go and loook at it. We lived in Salem at the time. He said he did not want to live in Silverton , he might be the head of the family, but I'm the neck that turns the head. I got him to take a look and he too fell in love with it. We had just started taking care of my mom who had suffered 4 strokes and she actually was the one who bought it so we could take care of her and my disabled brother as well. It was the first home mom had ever owned. She loved it here so very much. She had what she had always wanted, a home where all the people she loved could be together. We moved here in February 2010, and mom paseed away happily in her sleep on June 20, 2010.

When we started the repair and clean up of the property it was almost over whelming. My husband Randy and I put in over a month of time doing what needed to be done just to make it possible for the mortgage company to approve it for loan. 7 days a week and sometimes 12 hours a day for both of us. Thank God Randy is a master carpenter. The formal dinning room ceiling was caving in. the Garage celing was caved in. The cedar shingle roof was about 60 years old and had failed completely. There was water running down the foyer walls up starirs when it rained, remember we live in Oregon, so it was quite often. The downstairs bath at one point of remodel was so bad you could see the sky. Randy practically single handed ripped out all bad wood and studs, completely repairing all previous damage to the structure. Anew roof went on. Carpet was replaced through out the whole house. there was about $30,000 put into repairs. Randy rebuilt the stair case, taking care not to disturb Patty's red tile. The red oak wood that now covers each stair and the foyer complimenting Pattys taste. We left the chrystal chandeliers and painted the home trough out, removed a jungle of brush from the sloaping yard, put in new carpet, and new bathroom fixtures bringing it up to date.
The home was valued almost $100,000 over what we paid for it once all the repairs were done. It is the show piece that it once was. We still have a few projects that have to be done, but I love this place, and I hope God willing that we never have to leave.

Tell us about your memories of the house?

We have only been in the home a year now, but the memories that have been created here I will cherrish forever. In this short ammount of time I Lost my Mother, was reunited with my children, and was able to have a home that could accomidate my disabled brother Steven so we could finnally bring him home from the nursing home.
Christmas was my moms favorite time of year, and in her memory this past Christmas I decked this house out in all her old ornaments and christmas garb. It was absolutly beautiful and I know she would have been thrilled.
I have come to realize that a house is just a house, it is the memories of those who live in it and those who used to live init that give it its history and make it a home. It is the love of the people that reside inside, and this house is home.
Thank you for giving me this opprotunity,
Vickie Anderson
