Merger of Officers Row, Fort Vancouver National Historic Site

Latest comment: 17 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Do not merge. Officers Row is adjacent to Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, and they share some common history, but it is not a part of the NHS. Both Officers Row and Fort Vancouver (but not McLoughlin House) are components of the Vancouver National Historic Reserve, which possibly deserves its own article. Arguably, a VNHR article would be a parent for Officers Row where it could be merged, but not the NHS article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ipoellet (talk • contribs) 05:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I would agree with the above. In writing the article, I made the small but important mistake of saying it was a part of the national historic site rather than the reserve. The reserve and the fort vancouver site are two very different things, and in fact are some distance apart from one another. VanTucky ^Talk 18:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

McLoughlin House site

Latest comment: 17 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Including this house in this article, rather than in the Officers Row article, seems to have stemmed from the misperception (easy to make for out-of-towners), that Officers Row is a part of the Ft. Vancouver site. It is a part of the Ft. National Historic Reserve, a larger national historic area that encompasses both the Fort site (which this article is about) and other sites, such as Officers Row. The site of the fort and officers row are actually some distance apart. VanTucky ^Talk 21:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I reverted my own move. There is a "McLoughlin house" in Vancouver, but I see now that I didn't read the text fully and this is the Oregon City McLoughlin House. Big mistake. VanTucky ^Talk 22:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
