102 E 5TH ST

Welcome into a piece of Molalla’s history with the beautifully preserved John Frank & Bertha Fray Dicken House, designed by Portland architect Raymond Hatch—also known for the 1926 Molalla High School—this distinguished residence showcases classic Tudor and English Cottage architecture. Charming gable-end half-timbering, arched windows and doorways, and a stucco exterior highlight its timeless elegance. The home’s English garden landscaping enhances the storybook appeal, while the rolled-edge composition roof evokes the character of traditional thatch. Built by community leader Frank Dicken, founder of the long-standing Dicken & Co. dry goods and grocery store, the home remained in the Dicken family for more than six decades. Today, it stands as a beautifully maintained private residence—a rare opportunity to own a historic treasure in excellent condition, where heritage and craftsmanship blend seamlessly with small-town charm.
