Old Wheeler Hotel

This is the "Old Wheeler Hotel" in Wheeler on the Oregon Coast. It is a cool and nostalgic hotel built in 1920.

It is a restored historic inn that is right across the street, and has a view, of Nehalem Bay. That in itself is worth the price of admission.

The Wheeler Hotel has just eight rooms but, they are filled with cool antiques. In the 1940's the hotel was under different ownership. It was actually operating as a facility for the treatment of arthritis.

Well, that's changed. In the 90's, a couple just passing through Wheeler ended up buying the hotel and refurbishing it into a charmer. However, the hotel was sold again in 2009 and they continued to refurbish the hotel.

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

Sellwood \ Land Of Antiques

Sellwood, now called the Sellwood-Moreland Area is one of many cool neighborhoods in Portland.
I would consider Aurora, Oregon and the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood as the major antique sources in my area. I may get some flak over that but as far as I know, these two are the largest and among the finest.

I lived in Westmoreland as a teenager, which is now the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood for 5 years prior to going into the service and, then for about three years afterwords. At one time, Sellwood was known as a rough area.

This has changed over the years, the Sellwood-Moreland Area has undergone a major transformation. Young folks have moved into the area and have fixed up most of the dilapidated homes. And, one by one, cool businesses have infiltrated 13th avenue (the main drag) from start to finish.

This is the first of a series of photographs taken in the area. So, please stay tuned for more. Enjoy!
