Dorchester House - Oregon - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Construction of the Colonial style Dorchester House was begun in 1929 but was not completed until 1935 due to the depression. The architect was Rowe Kennedy who designed the building for Charles Walker as a hotel and business building. For many years the Dorchester House was the only large hotel in the Lincoln City area. The building is a three-story rectangular structure approximately 40 feet wide by 145 feet long.
In 1965, Bob Packwood (then a State Representative) founded the annual Dorchester Conference which met at the Dorchester House for many years.
The building was placed on the National Register on February 29, 1980. The Dorchester House is now operated as a Senior residential center for independent seniors.
