Enjoy the splendid Art Déco or Gothic Revival architecture of many of Klamath Falls' historic buildings, or see
history depicted in artistic murals. Several homes in the area are listed on the Historic National Registry,
such as the Goeller House, built in 1905. Mr. J.F. Goeller, a carpenter and owner of a planing mill, adapted the design
from a barber pattern book. The house is described as having the maximum conceivable decoration of Moorish confection.
Certainly the house is one with distinctive Victorian attributes and lots of gingerbread.
You can also see the Oregon Bank Building…One of the last buildings
on the West Coast to still use elevator operators.
The tour of downtown Klamath Falls can begin from either end of
Main Street because there is a friendly anchor on each end . . . the Discover Klamath Visitor Center, 205 Riverside Dr. Suite B,
at one end and the Klamath County Museum, 1451 Main St., on the other! Each have good parking and interesting
history . . . and the Linkville Trolley stops at both during the summer. But if you really feel like walking it's only one mile from
one point to the other. A map is available at the visitor center.
Another fascinating way to tour Downtown is the Linkville Trolley Bus Historical Tours (from June - September). Service is provided Tuesday - Saturday starting at the Klamath County Museum. Cost is only $1.00 per person for a round trip. Servide is provided by Basin Transit Service.
