Planning Department: Historic Preservation

In the early 1980's, the City of McMinnville undertook an exhaustive inventory of structures and sites within the urban growth boundary to determine their historic significance. As a result of this inventory, well over 400 properties were classified as having significance to the city's history, architecture or setting.

In order to afford protection of the most important of these structures and sites, in 1987 the City adopted an historic preservation ordinance establishing regulations and procedures for the alteration or demolition of such resources.

In summary, the resources included in this inventory were classified as "distinctive," "significant," "contributory" or "environmental." Of these, the greatest level of review and protection are given to the "distinctive" and "significant" resources. For more information, refer to McMinnville's HistoricLandmarks Ordinance 4401. If you want to know whether a specific structure is listed on the Historic Resources Inventory, you can contact the Planning Department. Our office has information and photographs on file for most of these structures. Properties that are considered "distinctive" or "significant" require formal review by the McMinnville Historic Landmarks Committee prior to the issuance of any building permit(s) for exterior alterations or renovations to the building or site. Applications relative to Historic Landmarks are available on the Applications & Fees page.

Below is a list of historic sites identified as distinctive, significant or contributory. It is recommended that you contact the Planning Department before you begin any renovation of a structure that you believe may be considered historic, even though it is not on this list. Please also be aware that much of the McMinnville downtown area is within a designated National Historic District. Should you need further information regarding this district, or the special requirements that may apply to your proposed building project, please contact the Planning Department office.
