    HistoryDisciples House

The Dr. George Farra house is a two and one-half story, wood frame house constructed early in the 20th century. This building has a bell cast gable roof with dormers and cross gables on the east and west elevations on the third floor. The building has two very large brick chimneys. The windows are mostly one-over-one, double hung sash set in simple surrounds. A large veranda extends along the north (front) elevation and part way on the east and west elevations. The exterior of the building is shingle. The structure is presently used for apartments.

George Farra, M.D., settled in Corvallis in 1877. Farra was born September 13, 1843, in Woodford County, Kentucky. He was the son of John R. and Martha J. Farra. Farra studied medicine with Dr. W.P. Moore and in 1875 enrolled in the University of Louisville from which he graduated in 1877. Farra became an investor in the Corvallis Water Company, the Corvallis and Eastern Railroad, and the Willamette Land and Loan Association. He built his second home in 1903. Farra married Anna Hamilton on February 9, 1873.
