Ah yes, those diamond windows. They were prominant on my general store (the one I sold my son-in-law) in Olde Sherwood Toune. They are a Sherwood Trade-Mark and should be required in all new construction. There is a photograph of this particular house in a manilla folder at the Oregon Historical Museum, together with details about the man who built it. (Same guy who built Morback House as I recall, but the name slips my mind.)
Herb Borchers belonged to the family Borchers Road is named after. The Borchers were a large old German-Lutheran family associated with Saint Paul's Lutheran.
No, it's a name familiar to you, but I'll have to go to the OHS to find it.
It is shocking to look at those photos and realize how much has changed in only a few years.
