Courthouse

14 Mar 2019 4 237
This was built after a 6.0 earthquake damaged the old courthouse in 1993. It was, technically, a doublet earthquake, two of nearly equal magnitude in quick succession. The town had $10 million in damage, mainly to old non-reinforced brick buildings. Earthquakes are not common here, and if they do happen they rarely cause damage.

Old millworkers' hotel

Still partially occupied, but looks close to being condemned, to me. This and another hotel were built by the mighty Weyerhaeuser Lumber Company for its employees sometime around 1929 - 1930. The mill was a short walk nearby. Then, both buildings are converted to small apartments rented by the month. A village of modest houses, now called Stewart-Lennox, built up around the hotels.

Stone houses

Built of various local stone, including obsidian, red and black lava, and sandstone. I believe it was originally a motel, now apartments. (1930s) The second building, in back, is a geometric design of the same stones.
