BACKGROUND
City of Lake Oswego (City) leased City-owned property at 40 Wilbur Street 97034 (Ironworkers
Cottage) to the Lake Oswego Preservation Society (LOPS) in 2018.
• Lease was originally generated December 5, 2018 for a term of five years.
• Annual rent is $1200, payable monthly in the amount of$100. The rent amount reflects
the savings below market rent resulting from the exemption from property taxes.
• The Museum is used as an exhibit space as well as a meeting area that is available to the
community.
The Lake Oswego Preservation Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 2011
with a mission "to support Lake Oswego's historic fabric through advocacy and education."
The Society's entire focus is on preserving Lake Oswego's built heritage and educating the
community and Lake Oswego's unique history. The work of the Society's Board and Advisory
Board members includes researching, writing, and designing the Oswego Iron Heritage Trail
signs (one which is at the Worker's Cottage site), Iron Furnace kiosk interpretative panels,
historic tours and brochures, and historic photo exhibits.
The Society currently operates the meeting and exhibit area so that it is open for public entry
and access for at least 400 hours a year. The organization also provides access to the Cottage by
appointment for individuals, group tours, and school classes.
The existing lease was developed following a multi-year project to restore the Historic Iron
Worker's Cottage and a process that included soliciting for and evaluating proposals and
negotiating the lease terms with the selected organization, the Lake Oswego Preservation
Society.
DISCUSSION
The Preservation Society is a great tenant with a mission that is perfectly aligned with the use
and public access to the Cottage. They are excellent stewards of the Cottage and property and
we have had no issues.
The proposed lease renewal is for five (5) years, and no other changes are proposed to the
terms.
City Responsibilities: Preservation Society Responsibilities:
• Landscape maintenance • Rent $100 per month
• City utilities (water, sewer) • Cultural/Historic Exhibits
• Exterior and landscape maintenance • Open to the public for at least 400 hours per year
• Contacting LOPS for scheduling • Electricity, natural gas, and garbage/recycling

negotiate changes to other terms of the lease, or consider seeking other tenants or using of the
Cottage.

and operate the Historic Iron Worker's Cottage at 40 Wilbur Street.

and warrant that the execution of this Lease is duly authorized by the party executing this Lease, that
such party is qualified to do business in Oregon, and that the person signing on behalf of each party was

Exhibit A - Public Access Days and Hours
Public Access
The worker's cottage will be open to the public a minimum of 400 hours per year: 6 hours per week and
3 hours one weekend a month. One or more volunteers will staff the facility and the number of visitors
will be tracked.
The schedule is every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, except for holidays. It is very
important that a museum-type facility be open on weekends so families and those who work 8:00 am
to 5:00 pm can visit. We propose to open on the first Saturday of every month from 1:00 pm to 4:00
pm, except for holidays.The cottage will also be open by appointment for individuals, group tours, and
school classes.These special events will satisfy the requirement for the remaining 52 open hours.
The Society reserves the right to change the opening days and times to better accommodate the
public and to offer different summer and winter hours.
City Meetings
Meetings of City employees or City board and commission members may be scheduled for the worker's
cottage as long as they are covered by the City's insurance policy.The City will maintain a key for this
purpose and the premises need to be left just as they were found.To schedule, call 503-481-2479 8:00
am to 5:00 pm weekdays or email info@lakeoswegopreservationsociety.org at least one week in
advance of the desired meeting date.
Society Use
The Society expects to use the property for its own purposes, on average, about 4-6 times per month.
These Society uses would usually include fewer than 10 participants and would be of brief duration, one
to two hours. Included in these activities would be, monthly Board of Directors meetings, office work,
event planning, exhibit mounting, and volunteer training sessions.
We see a future in our past.
