The Wreckage, Rustic log house in Ocean Park, United States

The Wreckage is a 1+1⁄2-story log house built in 1912 from unhewn logs, with 30-foot logs on the front and rear and 24-foot logs on the sides. It rests on a concrete block foundation, has an overhanging roof with gables and shed dormers, and two brick chimneys. Window and door openings were sawn into the solid log walls, with surrounds decorated with fishing net floats.

Guy S. Allison built The Wreckage in 1912 on land he bought in 1911, the year he honeymooned there with his wife Virginia. The main logs came from a raft that broke up on the Columbia River bar in the winter of 1911, scattered from Tillamook Head to Leadbetter Point. Tongue-and-groove lumber was thrown overboard from the steamer Washington, and cement for the foundation came from the wrecked French barque Alice. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1979.

The name reflects the salvaged shipwreck materials that define the building's character and story. Visitors can see how driftwood and found objects decorate the structure and grounds.

The house is located in a residential area in Ocean Park and can be viewed from the street. Visitors should remember this is a private residence and explore the surrounding area respectfully.

After construction, the owner collected driftwood and shaped it into animal sculptures known as Wreckage Park Zoo, which appeared on maps. This collection received national attention through publications and turned the property into a distinctive folk art project.
