History
The Latourrette family was very important in the history of Linfield College. D.C Latourette, builder of the house, taught at the then McMinnville College from 1878-1880 and served on the Board of Trustees from 1889-1907
Kenneth Latourette, his son, graduated from Linfield in 1904, became a professor at Yale and was a noted historian in the fields of Christianity and the Far East. Latourette Hall on Linfield’s campus was named after the family.
