This blockhouse was originally part of Fort Yamhill from 1856-1866. The eight-sided design made it easier to defend, as rifle ports could be placed every 45 degrees instead of every 90 degrees.

In its later years the blockhouse was used as a jail before being rescued and relocated to Dayton in 1911.
