John Quincy Adams Young House, Historic house in Cedar Mill, Oregon, United States.

The John Quincy Adams and Elizabeth Young House is a saltbox built in 1869 in Cedar Mill, Washington County, Oregon. John Quincy Adams Young and Elizabeth Young settled here in 1862 in a log cabin, then built this house; a larger home followed in 1873 across the road. The 1869 house held Cedar Mill's post office, with Young as postmaster from 1874 to 1882.

John Quincy Adams Young and his wife Elizabeth settled here in 1862 in a log cabin, then built this saltbox house in 1869 and a larger home across the road in 1873. Young was Cedar Mill's first postmaster from 1874 to 1882, and the post office operated in this 1869 house while the family lived opposite. The Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District acquired the house and half an acre in 2005, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

This house reflects how early settlers from New England brought their building traditions to Oregon. It shows how people recreated familiar architectural styles when establishing new communities in the West.

The house sits on NW Cornell Road and is accessible via trails maintained by Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District. Visitors should note that as a historic building, access and hours may vary depending on conditions and programs.

The 1869 house held Cedar Mill's post office, while the Young family lived across the road in the larger 1873 home. John Quincy Adams Young, the first postmaster from 1874 to 1882, named the community for its cedar trees and the mill he co-owned.
