Geocache Description:

See a home designed by influential architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

This cache is part of a series known as the 2012 Clackamas County Historical Society (CCHS) GEO-Heritage Tour. Get a passport, find codewords inside of caches, have your passport stamped at museums, and visit info sites for clues to earn a geocoin. More info about the passport can be found near the end of this cache description.

The Gordon House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1957 and was moved to The Oregon Garden in 2002. It is the only Frank Lloyd Wright designed building in Oregon and the only one in the Pacific Northwest that is open to the public. 

Wright designed the home for Conrad and Evelyn Gordon for their farm on the south side of the Willamette River in Wilsonville. The house was completed in 1964, and the Gordons lived there for over thirty years.

Descendants of the Gordons sold the property in 2000. The new owners agreed to donate the property to the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy with a requirement that the house be moved off the property. In January, 2001, The Oregon Garden agreed to move the house by a March 15 deadline. The house was moved 24 miles south to The Oregon Garden where it was restored and dedicated as a public museum in March 2002.
