JACKSONVILLE, Ore. (AP) — A Jacksonville homeowner has won approval from the City Council to improve his property with a hitching rail. He says people could use it for dogs or bicycles, as well as horses.
Steve Kurusz tells the Medford Mail-Tribune he’s not a horseman himself but wants to make his 1866 house what he calls “period correct.”
That means a hitching rail like others around the tourist town in Southern Oregon with a gold rush history. Kurusz says Jacksonville needs more of them.
The device will be of oak, he says, with posts 3 feet tall and a rail 6 feet long.
