Description: "The Samuel Adolph House, built in 1878 at 2493 State Street, Salem, Marion County, Oregon, 1992. Samuel Adolph, co-founder of Salem's first brewery, built the Italianate style home which shares design and building themes with the Asahel Bush House built the same year. A substantial two-story frame house in the Italian Villa style, it features gabled roof-lines, a round-arched attic window with miniature balcony, bracketed cornices and tall, narrow windows with distinctive moldings. By 1905, a wrap-around porch with posts and decorative trim extended the front porch around the left side. The house was built on a five-acre tract as a fashionable suburban farmhouse with a picket fence enclosed yard; now it is on a busy street in a mixed residiential and commercial neighborhood very near the Oregon State Penitentiary. The man for whom the house was built, Samuel Adolph, a German Jew, emigrated from Berlin in 1855 and came to Salem in 1867. He established Salem's first brewery with John Brown almost immediately. In 1885 Adolph and two of his employees, Maurice Klinger & Seraphin Beck, built the Capital Brewery. In the 1880's he also built several business blocks on State Street in downtown Salem; it was not surprising that they should have a saloon in one of them. The home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978".
1880 Census of East Salem shows Samuel, age 45, and Mary Adolph, age 38, both born in Prussia, with children Will age 11, Eva age 9, Lyon age 7 and Ida age 2.
