Local Designations
Willamette Historic District established as a local historic district with the adoption of a newly codified CDC in 1981.
An historic district is a geographically definable area with a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united by past events or aesthetically by plan or physical development.
Districts typically have contributing and non-contributing properties. Contributing properties generally are from the period of significance and add to the historic character or architecture of the district. Non-contributing properties may have been built outside the period of significance or have significant alterations that affect their integrity.

National Register Listed Properties
The National Register is the official list of the Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation.
Properties listed on the National Register as historic districts and individually.
The Willamette Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in November 2009. The NR district is smaller than the local district, but encompasses many of the same buildings.
The individual National Register listings not within the WFNHD are the Oregon City-West Linn Bridge, Willamette Falls Locks, and the Lewthwaite-Moffat House.
