Astoria, Oregon is the oldest settlement west of the
Rocky Mountains. The Lewis & Clark Expedition spent the winter of
1805-1806 at Fort Clatsop, near Astoria. In 1811, fur traders sent
by John Jacob Astor built Fort Astoria where the city of Astoria is
today. Today,
Astoria has a population of about 10,000 people.
For as small a town as Astoria is, it has been
visited many times by Hollywood. Major motion pictures filmed in
Astoria include Kindergarten Cop, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III,
Short Circuit, Free Willy & Free Willy II and
The Ring II.
The map above shows the locations of the places on
this page. One great thing about Astoria is that it is pretty easy to
find your way around. With the exception of Marine Drive, the main road
through town, the named streets running East-West through most of the
town are in alphabetical order, starting by the river. The named streets
that are in alphabetical order are: Astor, Bond, Commercial, Duane,
Exchange, Franklin, Grand, Harrison, Irving, Jerome, Kensington,
Lexington, Madison, Niagara. Numbered streets run North-South and the
numbers increase as you move East.
There is a lot of history in Astoria, and that makes
it a great town to explore. There are a lot of recognized historic
places and landmarks in Astoria, and many, many historic buildings, not
all of which are obvious. This page barely scratches the surface
of Astoria's history, but let's start where it all began...
1. Fort Astoria
Northwest corner of 15th Street and Exchange
Street
Lewis & Clark's Fort Clatsop wasn't actually in what
is now the town of Astoria, so the story of Astoria really starts here,
at the Northwest corner of 15th and Exchange Streets. This is the site
of Fort Astoria, the first American settlement West of the Rocky
Mountains, and is marked by a plaque placed by the
Astoria Chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revolution on October 6, 1924. This spot
was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962. This structure is a
recreation of part of the fort, and a large sign here tells its story.
After arriving aboard the schooner Tonquin,
the initial Astor Party began construction of Fort Astoria on April 12,
1811. The Fort was sold to the North West Company and was renamed Fort
George during the War of 1812 to prevent it from being captured. Some
notable residents of the fort included Jane Barnes, an English barmaid
who was the first white woman in Oregon, and Ranald MacDonald (not
Ronald McDonald), born at
Fort George in 1824. He was the son of the Hudson Bay Company's manager
of the fort and the daughter of Chinook Indian Chief Comcomly, and would
become the first teacher of English in Japan.
MacDonald believed that a racial link existed between
the American Indians and the Japanese, and was determined to visit
Japan, although at the time Japan had been closed to foreigners for over
200 years. In 1848, MacDonald, as a deckhand on an American whaling
ship, marooned himself on Rishiri Island off Hokkaido, and was rescued
by the Japanese. While awaiting deportation, he was allowed to teach
English to 14 Japanese scholars. He also visited Europe, Canada and
Australia before his death in 1894.
As for Fort George, the Hudson's Bay company moved
its headquarters to Fort Vancouver in 1825, and Fort George was
abandoned. But in its place a new city was born. Astoria's first post
office opened in 1847, and many of the homes of Astoria's early
residents are still standing.
2. Clementine's Bed
& Breakfast & Moose Lodge
847 Exchange Street
A number of the historic homes in Astoria have become
Bed & Breakfasts. Clementine's is one such house. But while the 1888
Victorian house in the background is like many others, the building in
the foreground is very significant. Originally built around 1850, it is
the oldest surviving building in Astoria. It is known as the
Moose
Temple Lodge, as it served as a Moose Lodge from 1900 to 1940 before
becoming a Mormon church and eventually part of
Clementine's Bed &
Breakfast.
3. Hiram Brown
House
1337 Franklin Avenue
This house, built in 1852, is the oldest dwelling in
Astoria. The original part of the house was built by Captain Hiram
Brown, who came to Astoria in 1848. The house was originally built in a
part of East Astoria known as Adairville. In 1865, it was barged down
the river to 10th street and rolled to this location without even
cracking the wallpaper or breaking a window.
4. John Hobson
House
469 Bond Street
This house, built entirely of Port Orford cedar, was
built in 1863 as the home of John Hobson, a pioneer from England who
came to Oregon in Marcus Whitman and Jesse Applegate's wagon train as
part of the Great Migration of 1843. It is the oldest residence in
Astoria to remain in continuous family ownership. This house was placed
on the National Register of Historic Places on February 17, 1978.
5. Flavel House
441 8th Street
One of the most well known buildings in Astoria, this
Queen Anne Victorian was built in 1885 as the home of Captain George
Flavel, Astoria's first millionaire. Today, the house and grounds have
been restored to original condition and are maintained as a museum by
the Clatsop County Historical Society,
enabling visitors to see a home as it was over 100 years ago. It was placed on the
National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1980.
6. Benjamin Young
Inn
3652 Duane Street
The
Benjamin Young Inn was built in 1888 as the home
of Benjamin Young. It was placed on the National Register of Historic
Places on March 7, 1979.
7. Astoria Inn
3391 Irving Avenue
The
Astoria Inn was originally built in 1890 as a
private resident by Olie Haren, a Norwegian immigrant.
8. Franklin Street
Station
1140 Franklin Avenue
This house was originally built in 1900.
Franklin
Street Station was one
of the first Bed and Breakfast Inns in Astoria when it opened in June
1986.
9. Rosebriar Hotel
636 14th Street
The
Rosebriar Hotel was built in 1902 as a convent to
serve as a home for nuns who taught in a local Catholic school. Also on
the grounds is a former Carriage House, originally built in 1885.
10. Uppertown Fire
Station #2
2968 Marine Drive
This building was originally built in 1896 as part of
the North Pacific Brewery. It was designed by Portland architect Emil
Schacht. The brewery shut down in 1915 due to prohibition. In 1928, the
City of Astoria rebuilt it as Uppertown Fire Station #2. (This part of
Astoria is known as Uppertown) The building served as a fire station
until 1960. The building was put on the National Register of Historic
Places on September 7, 1984. In 1989, it was donated to the
Clatsop County Historical Society to become the Uppertown Firefighters Museum.
The second floor also houses the Astoria Children's Museum.
11. Union
Fisherman's Cooperative Net Loft
Built in 1897, the net loft was used to dry the fiber
nets used by fisherman and store them for the off-season. It was put on
the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It is currently being
used as an art gallery.
12. Heritage Museum
1618 Exchange Street
This Neo-Classical building was
designed by Emil Schacht and was built in 1904 as
Astoria's City Hall, which it served as until 1939. It has also been used as a Public Library, a
USO
Club during WWII, and the first home of the Columbia River Maritime
Museum. It was restored by the
Clatsop County Historical Society
as the Clatsop County Heritage Museum and placed on the National
Register of Historic Places on September 7, 1984.
13. Clatsop County
Courthouse & Jail
749 Commercial Street & 732 Duane Street
The
Clatsop County Courthouse is built on land
donated by Col. John McClure, who had the second donation land claim in
what is now Astoria. This land claim was made up of the land between
today's 1st and 13th streets. The original 2-story frame courthouse was
built on this spot in 1855. This current courthouse was designed by
Portland architect Edgar M. Lazarus and was
built from 1904 to 1908. The cannon and bench in front of the Courthouse was
placed by the Oregon Department of the
Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil
War for their 16th Convention in 1934. The Courthouse was placed on the
National Register of Historic Places on April 5, 1984.
The
Clatsop County Jail was built in 1913 and was in
use from 1914 to 1976. It was placed on the National Register of
Historic Places on May 19, 1983.
14. John Jacob
Astor Hotel
1401 Commercial Street
Astoria, like many towns, faced a major fire that
destroyed much of the town. Just after midnight on the morning of
December 7, 1922, a fire broke out in the business district. Within 6
hours, 32 city blocks over 40 acres were destroyed, including 33
buildings plus roads and utilities, though only 2 lives were lost. The
downtown was rebuilt with wider streets and all utilities underground,
making it the only city of its size at the time with underground wiring
in the business district.
The impressive
eight-story John Jacob Astor Hotel, designed by the
Tourtellotte & Hummel firm of Portland and
built in 1922,
was one of the first buildings rebuilt in the business district after
the fire and is still the tallest building in Astoria. In 1948, L. E. Ed Parsons set up an antenna on the roof of the
Astor Hotel to receive the television signal from KRSC Channel 5 in
Seattle, and distributed the signal to others in Astoria through a
cable, creating the first cable television system. The initial broadcast
was on Thanksgiving Day, 1948. The Astor Hotel was placed on the National Register
of Historic Places on November 16, 1979. Today, the upper floors are
being renovated into apartments for the elderly.
15. Associated
Building
Northwest corner of 12th Street and Commercial
Street
The corner of 12th and Commercial is about where the
fire of 1922 broke out, but you'd never know it today. The Associated Building,
designed by architect Charles T. Diamond and built in 1923, is actually
three buildings: the Carruthers Building, the Hobson Building and the
Copeland Building. It was probably among the first buildings constructed
after the fire.
16. Liberty Theatre
1203 Commercial Street
The
Liberty Theatre is located on the Southeast
corner of 12th and Commercial. The entire building is actually known as
the Astor Building, and was built in 1924. The Liberty opened in 1925.
It is one of the few theaters in the United States with Italian
Renaissance architecture. The building was designed by John Bennes and
Herman Herzog. The Liberty Theatre originally had a Wurlitzer organ that
was sold to a theater in Denver in 1930. When the Astoria Theatre across
Commercial Street closed in the 1930s, the Wurlitzer from that theatre
was moved to the Liberty, where it remained until 1954. The building was
placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 7, 1984,
and the Liberty Theatre is undergoing a complete renovation, while
operating as a performing arts center.

see pictures of the interior, visit:

17. Astoria Theatre
1218 Commercial Street
This building does very little to give away its
identity, but it was originally built in 1925 as the Astoria Theatre. In the 1930s, the Astoria Theatre closed, and the theater's
Wurlitzer organ was moved across Commercial Street to the Liberty
Theatre. The Astoria Theatre building then became a First National Bank.
In 1958, the Wurlitzer returned to Astoria and was
installed in the nearby Viking Theater (later the Viking Roller Rink) combined with another Wurlitzer from Indiana,
but in 1960 a larger Wurlitzer was acquired from New York, and the
original Wurlitzer was sold in 1961. The Viking was sold after a final
May 17, 1964 concert and was eventually demolished.

18. Astoria Depot
2042 Marine Drive
The Astoria & Columbia River Railroad was completed
to Astoria on April 4, 1898, with the first train on May 16. The
Spokane, Portland & Seattle took over February 24, 1911. This depot was
built in 1924, which incidentally turned out to be the peak year for
rail travel in Astoria. Passenger
service to Astoria ended in 1952, but
the depot was used by the railroad for other purposes for many years.
Eventually even the freight rail traffic disappeared, and the SP&S's
successor Burlington Northern donated the depot to the
Columbia River Maritime Museum. Today, the museum uses the depot for storage.
The
tracks to the depot are now owned by the
Portland & Western
Railroad,
though there is no freight rail business in Astoria and except for the
Lewis & Clark Explorer during the summers of 2003 to 2005, no trains
have come this far in a
long time. Though the Lewis & Clark Explorer stopped in front of the depot, the
building itself has remained closed, and is in need of serious repair.
The tracks through Astoria are now owned by the city, and are used for
the Astoria Riverfront Trolley, which stops near the depot.
East of the depot, Astoria used to have a small
railroad yard, complete with an roundhouse and turntable, which were
removed years ago. These pictures of the Lewis and Clark Explorer were
taken near where the turntable once was. After the roundhouse and
turntable were removed, the land was used
by Astoria Plywood. Today, a
housing development called the
Mill Pond
Village is built on the site.
For more information on the old roundhouse and
turntable, see
The Astoria Roundhouse by Lloyd "Bud" Howell.
19. Astoria Column
Built atop Coxcomb Hill, Astoria's highest point, in
1926 at a cost of $32,550, the 125-foot Astoria Column is the world's
only large piece of memorial architecture made of reinforced concrete
with a pictorial sgraffito frieze. The Column is patterned after
the Trajan Column in Rome. 164 steps spiral up the inside of the
column to a viewing platform at the top. The frieze depicts
the history of the area, including the discovery of the Columbia by
Robert Gray in 1792, the American claims to the Northwest Territory and
the arrival of the Great Northern railroad. (The Great Northern actually
didn't come to Astoria, though it was part owner of the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle. The president of the Great Northern donated some of
the funds used to built the column, thus the railroad's inclusion.)
There is quite a view of Astoria from Coxcomb Hill,
as these pictures illustrate. John Friend Chitwood, born in 1839, was known as the
"Father of Coxcomb Hill," and advocated for a monument on the site to
honor the Lewis & Clark Expedition. In
1880 he blazed a trail to the top
of Coxcomb Hill and in 1915 he completed a wagon road. He died in
1920, and never saw the column built. Coxcomb Hill is also the site of the first Community
Antenna Television installation in the United States, completed in
February 1949. This was an outgrowth of L. E. Ed Parsons' system, and
there is a small plaque about his invention here.
On April 12, 1961, Astoria's 150th Anniversary, an
Indian Burial Canoe was placed on Coxcomb Hill as a symbolic memorial to
Chinook Indian Chief Comcomly by his descendants. Comcomly, born around
1765, was known by Lewis & Clark and was honored and respected by the
founding Astorians, the North Westers and the Hudson's Bay Fur Traders.
Comcomly died in 1830. The honored guest at the ceremony was Lord Astor
of England, descendent and namesake of the city's founder, John Jacob
Astor, who, incidentally, never visited Astoria.
On May 2, 1974, the Astoria Column was placed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
On December 22, 1994, a Time Capsule was buried on
Coxcomb Hill near the Column to commemorate the sesquicentennial (150
years) of Clatsop County. The Time Capsule will be opened on June 22,
2044. Mark your Calendars!
Over
the years since the column was built, the wind, rain and salty ocean
mist took its toll on the frieze. In 1997, the column was
surrounded by scaffolding and wrapped in plastic to allow artists to
painstakingly restore the frieze to its original glory, at a cost of
$1.5 million. When the
plastic and scaffolding were removed late in 1997, the column looked as
good at it did in 1926.
Today, there are plans to build an interpretive
center near the column, including a 20 foot tall scale model of the
column, with a spiral staircase around the outside, to allow visitors to
better view the details of the frieze.
20. Soldier's
Monument
Intersection of West Marine Drive, West Bond
Street and Columbia Avenue
The Soldier's Monument was dedicated to Soldiers of
World War of Clatsop County by the
City of Astoria on July 21, 1926. It
was built by the American Legion with funds donated by the citizens of
West Astoria, also known as Uniontown. The Soldier's Monument is also
known as the Victory Monument and the Doughboy Monument. The base was
designed by Astoria architect Charles T. Diamond, and includes public
restrooms (stairs lead to a door on either side), now closed of course.
(Things were certainly different in 1926; just imagine the outrage there
would be today if anyone even suggested combining a veteran's memorial
and a public restroom.) The monument is topped with a bronze statue
called Over the Top at Cantigny, designed by John Paulding and
cast by the American Art Bronze Foundry of Chicago.
Another Paulding Doughboy of a different design is in
Salem, Oregon. For more information about the Paulding doughboy statues:
John Paulding's
Doughboys at Earl D. Goldsmith's Spirit of the American Doughboy
Database.
Astoria's Soldier's Monument was
placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1984.
It was rededicated on May 18,
1991, and the Roger Riutta Memorial Bench was placed next to the
Soldier's Monument. Roger Riutta was dedicated to restoring landmarks in
West Astoria, and inspired the development of many civic projects by the
Uniontown Association.
21. City Hall
1095 Duane Street
This
building was designed by Portland architect John V. Bennes in 1923 as
the Astoria Savings Bank and built on the foundation and around the
vault of the original bank building. The bank closed in 1929. The
building has been
Astoria's City Hall since 1939, replacing
the building that is now the Heritage Museum. The Astoria Public Library
is in the building next door.
22. Bank of Astoria
1215 Duane Street
This
was originally the site of the Scandinavian-American Bank. After the
Astoria Fire, some walls & vaults reused in the 1923 construction of the
current building, designed by Astoria architect John E. Wicks for the
Astoria National Bank. The bank closed in 1928, and the building
reopened in 1930 as the Bank of Astoria. (Notice that the stone that the
words "Bank" and "Astoria" are carved into is a slightly different color
than the surrounding trim, including that in which the word "of" is
carved.) The bank was purchased by the U.S. Bank of Portland in 1937. Today
it is home to the
Columbia River Day Spa. There is an entity known as
the Bank of Astoria today, and it has a branch only a block from this
building, but this new Bank of Astoria was chartered in 1967, and opened
its first branch in 1968.
23. John Jacob
Astor Elementary School
3550 Franklin Avenue
John Jacob Astor Elementary School
was designed by Astoria architect John E. Wicks and was dedicated in
1925. The school is famous, as it
was featured in the 1991 motion picture Kindergarten Cop with Arnold
Schwarzenegger. When the movie was filmed, some actual students and
staff from the school were used as extras in the film. The school also
benefited from new playground equipment, installed for the movie.
24. Astoria - Megler
Bridge
Until 1966, the only way to cross the Columbia River
at Astoria
was by boat. Ferry service provided the connection between Astoria
and Megler, Washington for the last break in the Pacific Coast Highway
between Canada and Mexico. The landing for the ferry in Astoria was
at the foot of 14th Street. The remains of the landing can still be
seen.
The closest bridge across the Columbia was the Lewis and
Clark Bridge 50 miles east between Rainier, Oregon and Longview,
Washington. In 1962, construction began on the 4.1 mile Astoria-Megler
Bridge across the mouth of the Columbia River. The bridge was
completed in 1966. The main span, at 1232 feet in length, is the
longest continuous truss in the world.
The bridge was originally a toll bridge. The toll was
to pay off the bridge, and once the bridge was paid off the toll would
be removed. Though it was supposed to take 30 years, the bridge paid off
December 24, 1993, over two years ahead of schedule, and the toll was
removed.
25. Columbia River
Maritime Museum
1792 Marine Drive
The
Columbia River Maritime Museum was established in 1962 by Astoria native
Rolf Kelp to tell the history and maritime heritage of Astoria and the Columbia River. The rest of this page shows some of the
museum's exhibits.
Model of Battleship Oregon
This is a model of the American battleship Oregon,
registry BB-03. The Oregon was built from 1891 to 1893 by
the Union Iron Works of San Francisco. The Oregon was
commissioned July 15, 1896. The Oregon was 348 feet long
and had a crew of 473. She had a range of 5,500 miles and a top
speed of nearly 17 knots. Armaments included four 13" guns, eight
8" guns and four 6" guns. The Oregon was also clad with
18-inch thick armor. The Oregon was first decommissioned in
April 1903. She was recommissioned in August 1911 and went in and
out of the reserves several times before being put on display in
Portland, Oregon in 1924. The ship was converted to an ammunition
magazine in 1943 and was scrapped in Japan in 1956. The mast of
the Oregon is on display in Portland's Waterfront Park near the
place where the ship itself was once tied up.
Model of 5-masted Schooner
I believe this model of a 5-masted schooner may be a
model of the K. V. Kruse. The K. V. Kruse was a
242-foot 5-masted schooner built by Kruse & Banks Shipbuilding Co. of
North Bend, Oregon for Coos Bay interests in 1920. The K. V.
Kruse was idle in Astoria by 1930, and was moved to Lake Union,
Washington by 1935. It was sold to the Gibson Bros. Logging Co. of
Vancouver, British Columbia in 1939 to be converted to a log barge. It was lost off the coast of British Columbia in July 1941.

Model of Tourist No. 3
This is a model of Tourist No. 3, one of the
ferries used in service between Astoria and Megler before the Astoria-Megler
Bridge was built. Tourist No. 3 was built in 1931 for
Captain Fritz Elfving's Astoria - North Beach Ferry Company (where it
would join Elfing's other ferries, Tourist No. 1 and
Tourist No. 2) by Joe Dyer's Astoria Marine Construction Company. Joe Dyer was 33 years old at the time, and at 120 feet in length,
Tourist No. 3 was by far the largest boat Dyer had designed up to
that point. The Tourist No. 3 was built in just 90 days.
It was powered by a 425 horsepower engine, and had a capacity of 28 cars
and 280 passengers.
Captain Elfving had started his ferry service in
1921. His ferry slip on the Oregon side was at the foot of 14th Street
in Astoria. In 1927, Captain Elfving had competition from the Union
Pacific ferry North Beach. After the Tourist No. 3 entered
service, the rivalry really turned fierce. One night in 1932, Captain
Elfving's competitors drove pilings in front of the 14th Street landing,
to keep the Tourist No. 3 from being able to leave. The next
morning, Captain Elfving responded, and undeniably proved Joe Dyer's
shipbuilding prowess, by repeatedly ramming the pilings with the
Tourist No. 3 until they broke apart, allowing the ferry to leave
for the morning run. Ironically, the drifting pieces of timber would
later disable the North Beach for several days. In 1934, Captain
Elfving bought out his competition.
Captain Elfving sold his ferry operation to
the state of Oregon in 1946, and the Tourist No. 3 remained in
service, with the state's new 1947 steel ferry M. R. Chessman, until the Astoria-Megler Bridge opened in 1966, at which time
the ferry was retired and sold to become a floating crab-processing
facility in Kodiak, Alaska. The remains of the ferry slip can still be
seen at the end of 14th Street in Astoria.
See
Columbia River One Design for more about Joe Dyer and the Astoria
Marine Construction Co.
Model of USS Gambier Bay
This is a model of the USS Gambier Bay,
registry CVE 73. The Gambier Bay was the 19th member of the
Casablanca-class of escort carriers. She was built in 1943 by the
Kaiser Shipbuilding Company of Vancouver, Washington, and commissioned
December 28, 1943 in Astoria. The Gambier Bay was 512.5
feet long, had a top speed of 19 knots and carried a crew of 860 and 28
fighter planes. The Gambier Bay was sunk on October 25,
1944 in the Battle of Samar against the Japanese Navy. She was one
of four American ships from Escort Carrier Task Unit 19 lost in the
battle. The Gambier Bay received four battle stars in World
War II.
Lightship Columbia
Before the days of automated light buoys, actual
ships had to stand guard to guide other ships past hazards and into
ports that lighthouses couldn't mark. The Columbia River Lightship
Station was the first active lightship station on the West Coast,
beginning April 11, 1892. The lightship Columbia, registry
WLV 604, was assigned here from 1951 to 1979. The Columbia
was built by the Rice Brothers Corporation of Boothbay, Maine in 1951.
The Columbia is 128 feet long and powered by a 550 horsepower
diesel engine. Columbia is equipped with a 1200 Watt light,
a 13-mile aircraft beacon and a 5-mile foghorn. The Columbia River
Lightship Station was replaced with a buoy in 1979. The
Columbia was the last serving West Coast lightship. Columbia was retired and came to the Columbia River Maritime Museum,
where she is maintained in operating condition. In 1993, the
original buoy that replaced the Columbia was itself retired, and
joined the Columbia at the museum.
Coast Guard Cutter Alert
The
United States Coast Guard cutter
Alert,
WMEC 630, isn't really a part of the museum; it's still an active Coast
Guard cutter, based in Astoria, assigned to cover the North Pacific from
Alaska to Central America and Hawaii enforcing fishing, immigration and
contraband regulations. However, when not on duty at sea, the
Alert is docked at the museum, where it sometimes is open for tours
for museum visitors. The Alert is the last 210-foot Medium
Endurance Cutter built by the Coast Guard. It was built at the
Coast Guard shipyard at Curtis Bay, Maryland and commissioned August 4,
1969. The Alert was modernized in 1993. The Alert
has a crew of 75, is powered by two 2,500 horsepower engines, has a top
speed of 18 knots, a range of 5000 miles at 15 knots and an endurance of
30 days. The Alert is also capable of carrying an HH65A
Dolphin helicopter.
