Mission Statement: 

Purpose of this Google Blogger is to share historical documentation of Benton Manor at Corvallis Oregon (a.k.a. Executive Plaza). The postings will reflect a time capsule of my association with the building (1980-1987) and the earliest history from (1959).

Although I was the on-site manager of this building and was an employee of the current owner Joseph Weston, this page is not managed by Weston Investments LLC or the affiliated American Property Management. My efforts represent my contentment as manager, my harmonious interaction with Weston Investments, admiration of Joe Weston (as one of the most remarkable businessmen in the state of Oregon), love for all our tenants, and the pride of association I had with the building as resident and manager.  The connection with this property, the residents, owner and staff, was so rewarding I wanted to share the experience.

Corvallis and the Northwest deserves to know the wonderful historical merit of this property, as does Joseph Weston and his staff. I have retained much historical documentation through the years (some offered to me by Joe Weston himself) and also residents of the building. I have waited 35-some years for the time and forum to share this valuable history with the public. 

This historical page does not reflect the current day-to-day operations of this property. Any derogatory posts or complaints about the building, or owner, by residents who currently live at the Plaza (or lived there), or local residents, will be removed. This page is a celebration of my admiration and love for the building and my tribute to the residents who resided there, and last but not least, my association with Joe Weston and his associates who offered me carte' blanche in regard to my management with the trust that I would manage the property in a manner in which they would be comfortable. In all my years as an employee and a business owner I have never been treated so respectfully and with such high regard. Thank you Weston Investments! 

This page will be continually updated as I add historical materials, thank you for your interest. Please click on any of documents or images posted for larger files. Please note at bottom of the page you need to click 'Older Posts' to see the rest of the overview.
