Photos of Thomas Jefferson Shadden's house in 2004
The house Thomas Jefferson Shadden built still stands in McMinnville, Oeregon. In 2004 Nathan Haines obtained photos of it. Here are a few of them.

To me, one of the most interesting things about this house is how well it managed to obscure itself from our entire family history for so many years. How many times I've driven up I-5, only minutes from this place, and didn't know a thing about it. |
| It is a stately- looking building. Whoever currently owns it, they have taken real good care of it! |

You can see in some of the larger pictures that a lot of open land still surrounds the place. |
Finally, here's a photo I found on the web of Thomas' house with two people standing in the front yard. I suspect the two may be Thomas himself and wife, Martha. You can see it's the same old house as in the pictures above, but from a much earlier by-gone era.
