John Jacob Astor Hotel, Gothic Revival hotel in Astoria, United States
The eight-story John Jacob Astor Hotel features 150 guest rooms, ten residential apartments, and stands as the tallest building on the Oregon Coast.
Originally named Hotel Astoria, this 1924 establishment underwent reconstruction after a devastating fire altered the initial five-story design to an eight-story structure.
The former grand lobby now functions as The Ruins venue, contributing to the downtown area with retail spaces and community gatherings.
The building currently operates as residential apartments with commercial spaces occupying the first two floors of the historic structure.
This building marked the birth of cable television in 1948 when an antenna on its roof first captured previously unreachable television signals.
