Astoria City Hall (old)

The Old Astoria City Hall, now known as the Clatsop County Historical Society Heritage Museum, is a historic building located in Astoria, Oregon, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building served as the city hall of Astoria from 1905 until 1939. It was the first location of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, from 1963 to 1982, and has been the Heritage Museum since 1985. History as city hall The first Astoria city hall was designed and built in 1878 by Albert W. Ferguson. His son's firm of Ferguson & Houston also built the second building, located at 16th and Exchange streets, but the building's design was by Emil Schacht. The new building would be larger than its predecessor, as well as more modern. Construction began in 1904 and was completed in June 1905. The second Astoria City Hall was formally dedicated on July 4, 1905. All city offices, as well as the city library, were located in the new building. In the 1930s, it was decided to move city hall to a location in downtown, as the location at 16th and Exchange streets was rather isolated; the original, 1878 city hall had also been located in downtown Astoria. The city used a Public Works Administration grant to fund the conversion of a former bank building on Duane Street into a New City Hall. The city offices were moved out of the Old Astoria City Hall on Exchange Street, into the new premises, at the end of March 1939. Later use Since the end of its function as city hall, the two-story building has been put to various other uses. In the 1940s, the city allowed the State of Oregon to use it as an annex to an armory built at that time and located just to the east. Later, the U.S.O. used the building as its local headquarters. It moved out in 1960, leaving the building vacant. In 1963, the building was turned into the first Columbia River Maritime Museum, which opened in August of that year. It served this purpose for almost 20 years, until that museum moved to a new location on the riverfront, in 1982. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, as Astoria City Hall. To avoid confusion with the existing Astoria City Hall, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department identifies the building as "Astoria City Hall (Old)" in its list of registered historic properties in Oregon. In 1980, members of the Clatsop County Historical Society voted to purchase the Old City Hall and renovate it for use as a museum. The purchase was completed in 1985, and the first stage of the society's Heritage Museum (originally "Heritage Center") opened in 1985. Interior renovation and exterior restoration were carried out in 1987–88, funded by private grants and donations.

Astoria Column

The Astoria Column is a tower in the northwest United States, overlooking the mouth of the Columbia River on Coxcomb Hill in Astoria, Oregon. Built in 1926, the concrete and steel structure is part of a 30-acre (12 ha) city park called Astor Park. The 125-foot (38 m)-tall column has a 164-step spiral staircase ascending to an exterior observation deck at the top. History The tower was built in 1926 with financing by the Great Northern Railway and Vincent Astor, the great-grandson of John Jacob Astor, in commemoration of the city's role in the family's business history. Patterned after the Trajan Column in Rome (and Place Vendôme Column in Paris), the Astoria Column was dedicated on July 22, 1926. Maintenance work was done in 1936. In 1974, the column was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The murals that make up the column were refurbished in 1995 and a granite plaza was added in 2004. The column was one of a series of monuments erected by Great Northern between 1925 and 1926. Details The 125-foot-tall (38 m) column stands atop 600-foot (180 m) Coxcomb Hill and includes an interior spiral staircase that leads to an observation deck at the top. The spiral sgraffito frieze on the exterior of the structure has a width of nearly seven feet (2.1 m) and a length of 525 feet (160 m). Projected by Electus D. Litchfield and painted by Attilio Pusterla, the mural shows 14 significant events in the early history of Oregon, as well as 18 scenes from the history of the region, including Captain Gray's discovery of the Columbia River in 1792 and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The frieze starts with the "pristine forest" and concludes with the arrival of the railway in Astoria. Constructed of concrete, its foundation is twelve feet (3.7 m) deep. Built at a cost of $27,134 (equivalent to $493,461 in 2025), the tower has 164 steps to the top, where there is a replica of the State Seal of Oregon. A plaque near the column commemorates the pioneering Community Antenna Television (CATV) system built by local resident Leroy E. "Ed" Parsons, initially at the Hotel Astoria, in which twin-lead transmission wires redistributed the signal of KRSC-TV (now KING-TV) in Seattle, Washington to area homes. Former Astoria resident Byron Roman was also involved in early cable invention and distribution. The cast-iron spiral staircase inside the column was closed for safety reasons in November 2007. It was reopened to the public in time for the Regatta in August 2009.

Astoria Column

De Astoria Column is een monument en uitzichtpunt over de rivier de Columbia in Astoria in de Amerikaanse staat Oregon. De zuil is gebouwd in 1926 en staat boven op de heuvel Coxcomb in het John Jacob Astor park. De zuil is gemaakt van staal en beton. In de zuil is een trap aangebracht die naar een platform leidt. In 1974 is de toren toegevoegd aan het Amerikaanse National Register of Historic Places. Geschiedenis In 1926 werd de toren door de Great Northern Railway gebouwd met financiële ondersteuning van Vincent Astor, een achterkleinzoon van John Jacob Astor. Het is het laatste van 12 herdenkingstekens die zijn gebouwd in het begin van de 20e eeuw. De tekens staan op het traject tussen Saint Paul in Minnesota en Astoria in Oregon. Het project was een initiatief van Ralph Budd, de directeur van de Great Northern Railroad. Deze laatste is uiteindelijk opgegaan in het huidige Burlington Northern and Sante Fe Railway. John Jacob Astor had een vermogen gemaakt in de bonthandel en was in 1811 een van de grondleggers van de plaats. De zuil werd gebouwd om drie belangrijke gebeurtenissen in de geschiedenis van Oregon te memoreren. Dit waren de ontdekking van de Columbia door Robert Gray in 1792, Astoria was het eindpunt van de Expeditie van Lewis en Clark in 1805 en de bouw van Fort Astoria door John Jacob Astoria in 1811. De officiële opening in 1926 onderstreepte het 125-jarig jubileum van de plaats. Op 2 mei 1974 werd de kolom opgenomen in het Amerikaanse National Register of Historic Places. Beschrijving Het ontwerp van de zuil is gebaseerd op een triomfzuil die in opdracht van de Romeinse keizer Trajanus in het jaar 114 werd opgericht. De zuil is 38 meter hoog en staat boven op de Coxcomb heuvel die piekt op 183 meter boven de zeespiegel. De buitenzijde van de zuil is voorzien van sgraffito. De spiraalsgewijs aangebrachte afbeeldingen geven 14 significante historische gebeurtenissen weer. Van onder naar boven betreft het, onder andere, de ontdekking van de rivier de Columbia door Kapitein Robert Gray op het schip de Columbia Rediviva in 1792, de aankomst van Lewis en Clark in 1805, de overwintering van het team in 1805-1806, de aankomst van John Jacob Astor op het schip Tonquin in 1811, het herstel van Fort Astoria in 1818, de komst van andere kolonisten in de plaats en ten slotte de aanleg van de spoorweg die vanaf 1880 Astoria verbond met de rest van het land. De totale lengte van de afbeeldingen is 160 meter en de afbeeldingen zijn 2 meter hoog. Een interne wenteltrap trap leidt naar een platform boven op de zuil. Op het platform heeft de bezoeker een uitzicht over de Columbia, Astoria en omgeving. De bouw van de toren heeft $ 27.133,96 gekost.

Alco Apartments

The Vivian Apartments, originally known as the Alco Apartments, are a historic, commercial/apartment building located in Portland, Oregon, United States. Built in 1912 at the northern end of Portland's eastside commercial core, the building typifies the mixed-use commercial development that occurred along Portland's streetcar lines in the eastside area during the early 20th century. It was noted for quality design and construction when it was built, and retains significant character-defining characteristics, including transom windows and recessed entries in the commercial spaces, original fenestration on the rear elevation, a prominent apartment entrance and lobby, and decorative cornice and masonry. The building's significance is strongly echoed in the 21st-century renaissance of mixed-use construction and streetcars in Portland, with a new-generation streetcar line on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard immediately opposite the west elevation. The Alco Apartments were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.

Augustus Fanno Farmhouse

The Augustus Fanno Farmhouse was the home of Augustus Fanno, one of the first European American settlers in what became Washington County in the U.S. state of Oregon. Born in Maine in 1804, Fanno lived in Missouri as a young adult and in 1846 moved to Oregon with his first wife, Martha, and son. After Martha died in childbirth in Linn City in the Willamette Valley, Fanno and his son settled a 640-acre (2.6 km2) donation land claim 12 miles (19 km) to the northwest on a small tributary of the Tualatin River. It was the first such claim to be filed in the county. In 1851, Fanno married Rebecca Denney, and the first of their six children was born later that year. In 1859, he designed and built a rural home in the modified New England revival style popular in Oregon at the time. The family pioneered the cultivation of onions in Oregon, and by the 1890s these became regionally recognized for their high quality. Fanno descendants produced onions on the farm until onion maggots drove them out of business in the 1940s. Members of the family occupied the farmhouse until 1974, and in March 1982 they donated the house and adjacent land to the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD). Fanno Farmhouse remains on its original site along Fanno Creek in the Portland, Oregon, suburb of Beaverton. Restored by THPRD, the house is on the National Register of Historic Places, was honored as a significant historical site by Tualatin Valley Heritage, has been named a Century Farm, and was nominated for the 1985 Griffin Cabin Award by the Washington County Historical Society.

Фермерский дом Августа Фанно

Фермерский дом Августа Фанно (англ. Augustus Fanno Farmhouse) — дом Августа Фанно, одного из первых поселенцев в районе, который впоследствии стал округом Вашингтон в американском штате Орегон. Построен в 1859 году и находится на берегу ручья Фанно, в долине реки Туалатин, в городе Бивертон. Входит в Национальный реестр исторических мест США. История Август Фанно (англ. Augustus Fanno) родился в 1804 году в штате Мэн, детство и юность провёл в Миссури, а в 1846 году переехал со своей первой женой Мартой (урожд. Фергюсон) и сыном на территории, которые впоследствии вошли в состав штата Орегон. После того, как Марта умерла во время родов в городе Линн, Фанно и его сын поселились на участке земли площадью 2,6 км² в районе ручья, впадающего в реку Туалатин. Права на землю из фонда свободных земель на Западе США они получили в соответствии с Donation Land Claim Act (см. гомстед-акт). Супруги Фанно стали одними из первых владельцев фермерского участка-усадьбы в соответствии с этим документом. В 1851 году Фанно женился на Ребекке Дэнни, и в том же году у них родился первый ребёнок. В 1859 году Фанно спроектировал и построил дом в модифицированном под сельскую местность стиле новоанглийского возрождения, популярном тогда в Орегоне. Семья Фанно начала выращивание репчатого лука, и к 1890 году их продукцию признали на региональном уровне благодаря высокому качеству. Потомки Фанно продолжали выращивать репчатый лук на этой ферме, пока в 1940 году личинки луковой мухи (Delia antiqua) не разрушили их бизнес. Члены семьи занимали дом до 1974 года, а в марте 1982 года они пожертвовали дом и прилегающие земли организации Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD). Фермерский дом Фанно остаётся на своём первоначальном месте на берегу ручья Фанно в городе Бивертон. THPRD реконструировала дом, и теперь он входит в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Tualatin Valley Heritage назвала его важным историческим местом, а Историческое общество округа Вашингтон номинировало его на Griffin Cabin Award 1985. Также дом относится к категории столетних ферм (англ. Century Farm).

Фермерський будинок Фанно

Фермерський будинок Фанно (англ. Augustus Fanno Farmhouse) був оселею Августуса Фанно, одного з перших європейських поселенців у районі, який згодом став округом Вашингтон в американському штаті Орегон. Фанно народився 1804 року в штаті Мен, дитинство та юність провів у Міссурі, а в 1846 році переїхав до штату Орегон зі своєю першою дружиною, Мартою, і сином. Після того, як Марта померла під час пологів у місті Лінн, Фанно і його син оселилися на ділянці землі площею 2,6 км², яку вони отримали згідно з Donation Land Claim Act на невеликій притоці річки Тюалатин. Це була перша ділянка землі, отримана за цим документом. У 1851 році Фанно оженився з Ребеккою Денні, й того самого року в них народилась перша дитина. У 1859 році він спроектував і збудував будинок у модифікованому під сільську місцевість стилі новоанглійського відродження, популярному тоді в Орегоні. Родина Фанно започаткувала вирощування цибулі в штаті Орегон, і до 1890 року їхню продукцію визнали на регіональному рівні завдяки високій якості. Нащадки Фанно продовжували вирощувати цибулю на цій фермі, поки 1940 року личинки Delia antiqua не зруйнували їхній бізнес. Члени родини займали будинок до 1974 року, а в березні 1982 року вони пожертвували будинок і прилеглі землі для Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD). Фермерський будинок Фанно залишається на своєму початковому місці на березі Струмка Фанно в місті Бівертоні. THPRD відновила будинок і тепер він належить до Національного реєстру історичних місць. Tualatin Valley Heritage назвала його важливим історичним місцем, а Історичне товариство округу Вашингтон номінувало на Griffin Cabin Award 1985. Також будинок належить до категорії столітніх ферм.

Auto Freight Transport Building of Oregon and Washington

The Auto Freight Transport Building of Oregon and Washington, also known as East Side Terminal and Eastbank Commerce Center, in southeast Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon is a four-story commercial structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1924, it was added to the register in 2005. Occupying an entire block of the Central Eastside Industrial District, the 64,892-square-foot (6,028.7 m2), U-shaped structure has a flat roof, large industrial windows, and a plain interior with concrete floors and walls. The original building, an open warehouse with a few offices on the second floor, has since been divided into spaces for light industry, business, and office work. The original building was part of an industrial complex that developed on the east bank of the Willamette River in the early 20th century. As Portland grew, freight shipments delivered to receiving stations on the river's west side were slowed by heavy traffic on the city's bridges and in the central downtown. Pressure from business owners and civic groups over two decades led to construction of a central eastside receiving station, the Auto Freight Transport Building. The building, served by huge river docks located about 100 feet (30 m) to the west and by rail lines and surface streets, was capable of handling and storing a wide variety of cargo for transhipment to its ultimate destination. In addition, many small freight companies used it for office and lounge space for their employees. The Auto Freight Transportation Association of Oregon and Washington, a group of small trucking companies, operated the terminal jointly until 1938, when the group changed its name to East Side Terminal, Inc., and moved to another building in the Central Eastside Industrial District. Subsequently, the building became a warehouse used by a variety of freight companies. The Auto Freight Transport Building had a small built-in service station. However, around 1930 an adjunct building called the Auto Freight Terminal Service Station, across Southeast Water Avenue, was constructed to provide fuel and mechanical repairs to vehicles using the Transport Building. It continued to function as a service station until the early 1940s. In 1964, relocation of Interstate 5 from the west bank of the Willamette to the east led to removal of the docks and other waterfront structures of the industrial district and demolition of many old industrial buildings. The Auto Freight Transport Building is the best-preserved historic waterfront building in the 680-acre (280 ha) district.

Bachelor Island (Washington)

Bachelor Island is an island in the U.S. state of Washington. It is located in the Columbia River near Ridgefield, just south of the mouth of the Lewis River and a few miles north of the mouth of the Willamette River. The island stretches from Columbia river mile 88 to 91.5 (142 to 147 km). The northern end of Sauvie Island lies across the Columbia from Bachelor Island. Bachelor Island is separated from the mainland by Bachelor Island Slough and Lake River. Bachelor Island Slough separates from the Columbia River at Bachelor Point and the southern end of Bachelor Island. The slough joins Lake River, which empties into the Columbia River at the northern end of Bachelor Island. Most of Bachelor Island is part of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. History Lewis and Clark first called the island "Green Bryor Isd," when they passed it while travelling downriver in 1805. They changed the name to "Quathlahpotle Island" in 1806, during their return voyage upriver. The name honored a large village, "Quathlahpotle", of 14 wooden houses and 900 inhabitants on the mainland nearby. In 1841 Charles Wilkes of the United States Exploring Expedition named the island "Pasainks Island". Bachelor Island Slough he called "Piscou Creek". It was sometimes called Columbia Island during the 19th century. In 1849 or 1850 three bachelors took donation claims and settled on the island, giving rise to its present name, Bachelor Island.
