Philander Lee Historic Tree
292 N Holly Street, Canby, OR
(503)266-3394
The oak tree the family planted sits on the site of the family’s third home, which was constructed by carpenters with the Oregon and California Railroad in 1869. When Lee died in 1887, his son Albert made it his residence, living there with his family and his mother. The home and the tree remained in the Lee family until 1967, when the property was sold to Package Containers, Inc. by the last Lee resident, Ora Lee Cattley, Philander’s granddaughter.
