I originally posted the Salem PLACES pages on my website on April 27, 2008, and last updated them on March 17, 2010.
Living in Salem, Oregon for two years, I amassed a lot of pictures of the city; so many that one page wasn't enough. I broke my Salem information into four parts. This is Part 3, featuring Salem's government buildings, including Oregon State, Marion County and City of Salem buildings and parks and some Salem schools.
I referred to many internet resources for this project, including the Oregon State Library Photograph Collection, the City of Salem, the Salem Historic Landmarks Commission, Salem Online History, the Salem Public Library's Oregon Historic Photograph Collections, Salem Historical Quarterly, the Salem Oregon Community Guide, the Salem Heritage Network, the Salem Historic Downtown Historic District Walking Tour by Virginia at Picasa Web Albums and American Classic Images. Other internet resources are linked throughout the pages. I also used a 1965-1966 copy of the Oregon Blue Book. Historical photographs and some graphics were photographed from interpretive displays at various locations in Salem. Most other graphics, including maps, are my own creations, though they may be based on maps from other sources.
Introduction
As the capitol of the State of Oregon, Marion County seat and Oregon's third largest city, Salem has many government buildings and facilities, including some former government buildings that have found other uses, and some sites of some past government buildings.
This map show the locations shown in Salem Part 3: Government Buildings. Inset 1 is the Oregon State Capitol Mall, and Inset 2 is the North Capitol Mall.
Inset 1 shows the Oregon State Capitol Mall and the locations of the monuments on the capitol grounds and in Willson Park, and the locations of the surrounding buildings containing state government offices.
Inset 2 shows the North Capitol Mall along Mill Creek and the locations of the office buildings and houses containing state government offices, and the veterans memorials at the Veterans Building.
