Abstract
This 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.
