Laughlin Hotel Forest Grove

Title

Laughlin Hotel Forest Grove

Description

Picture of a three story wood building at the corner of Pacific Avenue and A Street. This building was built in 1898 with the front of the building facing A Street. The front looks to be divided into thirds as there are two sections that are set back from the front. The middle section has a sign LAUGHLIN HOUSE and a square pyramid hip roof with each side coming together to make a point. The two outside sections each have a gable roof. There is a covered porch with four columns and the steps are the width of the porch. There is an open porch above the roof for the second story. A dormer is on the left side roof facing Pacific Avenue. A man stands on the porch looking toward the camera. There is a two horse buggy alongside the sidewalk in front facing toward the camera. The Laughlin House later became Hotel Oregon and was dismantled and burned in 1959. A water tower is on the right and somewhat back from the street. It is square in shape with sides sloping inward toward the top of the tower. The top is square with square sides and the square pyramid hip roof comes together at the top with a copula.
