Van Schoiack house
Sadie and Cage Van Schoiack
This is a 1901 photo of the Van Schoiack house in old Dorena. An old family story says that while moving into the house, the family put the toddler into a huge old hollowed out tree stump nearby, which served as a temporary play-pen. This kept the little one out from underfoot, and out of harms way.
