Kadas, Marianne Hakanson2023-07-262023-07-26199-06https://hdl.handle.net/1794/28585133 pagesThis thesis is the study of the North Oregon coastal community of Neahkahnie, its history and the events leading up to its development, the subsequent summer artist colony, and the early architecture as designed by members of this summer group. It discusses the antecedents of these structures and their accommodations to site and available materials. Individuals important in this 1912 to 1916 period were: A. E. Doyle, designer of four early cottages at Neahkahnie, and Ellis F. Lawrence, designer of the Neahkahnie Tavern and one cottage. Both were Portland, Oregon, architects. Finally, the thesis documents the early expressions of the Northwest Regional Style, as illustrated in domestic architecture. Two later architects, among several, who refined the Northwest Regional style and whose work typifies the style were Pietro Belluschi and John Yeon. The development and true flowering of the Northwest Regional Style began in the late 1930s.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-UStransportation and travelPacific CoastNeahkahnie residentsThesis / Dissertation
