The Stephen and Parthena M. Blank House, also known as the Old Stagecoach Stop, is a historic residence located in Forest Grove, Oregon. Built in 1858 or 1859, it serves as a distinctive example of mid-19th century Greek Revival architecture.
Between the 1850s and the 1880s, the house underwent gradual extensions. These additions resulted in a structure that exhibits remnants of both balloon-frame and box-frame construction techniques, reflecting different methods used during that period.
Oral tradition suggests the house was used as an overnight stagecoach inn. It served as a stop on the route between Portland and Tillamook in the late 19th or early 20th century. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The house stands at a height of 7.4 metres.
