[or-roots] Mystery Building

[Leslie Chapman]

Beth;

I wouldn't get it fixed in my head that this is a flood picture, if you look
at the rock formation in the background, it is a little reminiscent of
Rooster rock on the Columbia gorge, though I don;'t believe it IS Rooster
Rock, I would give a high probability to it being somewhere along the Gorge,
the other reason I say this may 'not' be a flood picture is that those
arches look a little evocative of Venetian architucture and this may be a
boat landing kind of a thing. If I could be sure whether the stairs in the
forground end at the that blocky piec of wall, or go on down into the water
I would be a lot surer I was either right or blowing smoke.

Anyway that rock formation in the background should be a dead giveaway if
only somebody familiar with it would look at the photo.

Good evening, all --

While scanning photos from a relative's album I came across a picture of an
unidentified large building that could be a hotel or museum or something of
that nature. It appears as though there has been a flood as the building is
almost surrounded by water and piling marks indicate the water had been at
a higher level. The pictures in the album date from ca. 1910 through the
1940s, and the picture most likely was taken in Oregon or Washington,
possibly in Wasco or Hood River County.

If you'd like to look at it and see if you can identify the building and/or
its location, you'll find it here:

If you have an answer, please reply here to the list. Sorry, there's no
prize for the winner(s) except my eternal gratitude!

Thanks for any help,
Beth
