Founded in 1881 to serve surrounding ranches, Lonerock hasn't had a post office
since 1963. Townspeople get their mail in Condon. But even without postal service,
a school or a general store, the community has persisted. Its false-fronted community
hall, built around the turn of the last century, has been renovated, and its isolation
has actually attracted a few residents.
A two-story schoolhouse, built in 1903, rises above the east side of town. Its
last high-school class graduated in 1932; the school closed for good in 1961. A tiny,
wooden jail, built in 1891 as a place for rowdy sheepherders to sleep off nights of
revelry, still looks as though it could withstand a prairie tornado.
"The Rock" is a solitary, squarish 35-foot boulder on the south side of town,
beside Lone Creek, a tributary of the John Day River. Beside it stands the renovated
Methodist Church, built in 1898.
