Ever looked through the "Historic Douglas County, Oregon Book" aka know as the red book? Published in 1982
Entries were included by families who submitted a history of their family. Is your family included in this book?

Went on a little field trip yesterday...
I don't think I had ever been in the Perkins/Pacific building before...
The entrance is beautiful...
The lobby feels and smelled like stepping into the past.. Not a bad smell, just a smell of time and history... I had smelled in so many other buildings before...
It's beautiful inside and now occupies all kinds of small businesses... I think Julian Perkins, the man who it is named for would be proud of its current condition..
