Oregon House first advertised in the August 1976 issue of the GPU News, and the August 1976 issue of the local "GLIB Guide" describes the business as follows: "The first of the new bars, the Oregon House, opened on the growing gay bar block of south Second Street. The Oregon House features a lobby, and the entire bar is paved in shag carpeting. Recently a dance floor was opened, called the Loading Dock. It's no disco, but is interesting. The Oregon House may expand upstairs in the future." The Guide in the same issue sums it up: "If you like shag carpeting, paneling and tasteful decor. May expand upstairs in the future. New."

Although this business did appear in the 1978 issue of the Damron Guide, it does not appear to have survived much past mid-late 1977. This location was the site of another bar, The Phoenix, from about 1979 on.

More information about this business is welcomed from anyone who can contribute it.
