Cannon Beach Cottage and Garden Tour
a benefit for the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum
1972 Cottage
from the program: This house was built in 1972. There have been a few changes to the house, including remodeling the kitchen, bathroom, new floors, windows, the deck and the skylight. And interesting feature is that the deck is built around the tree. The homeowner’s kids have enjoyed walking to the beach and playing in the sand; the pictures in the home tell many stories. The owner was the vice principal and principal of Seaside School for many years.

The house just to the south of our next destination had a beachy garden.

We overheard one of the docents say that this part of north Cannon Beach was hit hard in the 1964 tsunami. You can read more about that here. We could see that the estuary was just a couple of blocks to the south. It was disconcerting to imagine a tsunami flowing up the street. Allan found a map that shows, in orange, the low lying area where these cottages sit.

I have read this book.
Must read this one.
I was smitten with this cottage and its books. Of all the cottages today, it was my favourite.
And it has a clawfoot tub (Allan’s photo)

We walked half a block north to look for the farmhouse and barn.
We think this is the farmhouse.
And this has to be the remodeled barn.

I would like this. It is probably only $300K or so.
Next: the last two homes of the tour.
All very nice. You have been busy visiting.
