The David and Maggie Aegerter Barn is a gambrel-roofed barn in Linn County, in northwestern Oregon, that was built in 1915. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1999.Linn County, at the center of the Willamette Valley, was a tremendously productive agricultural area. The area was settled by 1850, at which time there were already 160 farms. At one time the county produced and exported more wheat than any other area of its size. Barn designs evolved over the years.The Aegerter Barn is unusual for having an overhang around all four sides of the structure, a feature perhaps relating to Aegerter's Swiss heritage. Aegerter or his forebears had emigrated from Bern Canton, in Switzerland, where overhangs in barns are common. Overhangs protect lower level doors from the elements. It is the only such barn in Linn County.The barn was designed and/or built by Anton Schindler and Nick Lulay. It is privately owned.A photo of the barn from the digital collection of the University of Oregon shows decorative medallions on the upper level of one side of the barn. It also shows shingle cladding, perhaps wood shingles, protecting the upper level on that side, while the protected lower level is not shingle-clad.It is located not far from the Michael and Mary Ryan Barn, the only Pennsylvania Dutch barn in Linn County, which features overhangs on two sides. The Aegerter Barn, the Ryan Barn, and five others were nominated for NRHP listing as part of the MPS study.It is located at 41915 Ridge Drive, approximately eight miles from the small city of Scio. An aerial photo shows the barn is located behind other buildings in the farm property. It is a 38 by 48 feet (12 m × 15 m) structure. Its NRHP nomination describes:The first level has three aisles, arranged longitudinally, and was originally used for livestock stabling and grain storage. The second level functioned as mow space. The most distinctive feature of the barn is its multiple (four-sided) overhang of the upper level mow over the lower level walls. The only barn in Linn County with a four-sided overhang, the design choice may relate to the Swiss heritage of the related Aegerter and Flick families associated with this property. The farmstead also includes a wood-frame, one-and-a-half-story Craftsman style farmhouse (1924), a pump house, a windmill, a metal barn, and a garage.

The Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian Church, known as Christian Church at Mt. Pleasant or Mt. Pleasant Community Church, was built in 1856 near Stayton, Oregon. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 for its architecture. It was built on land donated by Washington Crabtree. The church was subject of some conflict between two groups that used the church:In its early years, the church served alternately as a meeting place for the Cumberland Presbyterian and Christian groups. Benjamin Franklin Irvine belonged to the former sect and Crabtree to the latter. The church's denomination depended upon which of the men secured the minister. Services also were held in the buiLding whenever a circuit rider or evangelist traveled through the neighborhood. At one time a division between the "sprinkling" and "total immersion" groups became so heated that Crabtree, on whose land the building stood, is reported to have kept the church filled with hay for two years. A reconciliation was finally reached and the church reopened.

Stayton–Jordan Bridge is a covered bridge in Stayton in Marion County in the U.S. state of Oregon. Built in 1998, it carries foot traffic over the Salem Power Canal in Pioneer Park. The canal is a diversion from the North Santiam River.A predecessor of the 1998 structure was a covered bridge spanning Thomas Creek near Lyons in Linn County. Built in 1937, it was one of seven similar Linn County covered bridges with large side openings. Known as the Jordan Bridge, it took its name from the rural community of Jordan, which was nearby.In 1986, after Linn County officials decided to replace the bridge, a group of Stayton residents acquired the dismantled structure and, with the help of volunteers and Marine Corps reservists, rebuilt it in Stayton. The rebuilt bridge, spanning the power canal, opened to pedestrian traffic in 1988. However, in December 1994, Christmas lights set fire to the bridge roof, due to kids shooting at the lights with a BB Gun, and the rest of the structure was either destroyed or too badly damaged to be salvaged. Local residents subsequently built a new, nearly identical bridge at the site, and it is the one that opened in 1998. In addition to functioning as a public footbridge, the structure is sometimes reserved for private events such as weddings.
