(Lincoln City, Oregon) union station los angeles For a year and a half, The Sea Horse Oceanfront Lodging union station los angeles in Lincoln City was missing a large chunk of its clifftop complex, after a freak storm ripped the roof off in what was determined to be a very rare tornado touchdown on the Oregon coast. For much of that time, just a skeleton of a structure sat where the main oceanfront building stood; before that was one big mess of a building until it was finally razed.
It was a bit of a struggle, however, to get to this point. Manager April Christy said this meteorological rarity slammed into the building unseen and then caused quite the meandering path to recovery.
Our early Christmas present arrived on Dec 14, 2010, Christy said. A water spout took the roof off of our northern building and deposited it one street over, hurdling a 40-foot power line in the process.
It didn't take them long to realize it was likely the same tornado system that hit Aumsville later that day. It had apparently decided to make a brief stop on the Oregon coast in the wee hours of the morning on its way to tearing up that Willamette Valley town.
Interestingly, although the Sea Horse has 12 separate buildings and 65 rooms, we lost nary a single shingle, except for the entire roof that was launched eastward, Christy said. One of the owners arrived early to see some debris in the parking lot and started to call Angel, one of our heavenly maintenance men, but then realized that it was much more than a broom and dustpan kind of a job.
As part of the rebuilding process, we constructed an additional floor with a roof that is super-attached, Christy said. Thanks to our Oregon rain, it was necessary to rebuild the lodging from the foundation up. Every part of the structure is new from top to bottom, including sheetrock, rugs, and fixtures.
All of the furniture and built-ins union station los angeles on the fourth floor were beautifully made by a Northwest company, Amcraft, Inc, out of McMinnville, Christy said. Our Sea Horse staff designed and crafted new draperies and carved cedar wood signage. The new d cor included underwater seahorse and coral photographs taken by local amateur - but excellent - photographer Shannon Fitzsimmons, with frames constructed by Sea Horse staff. Lastly, the new design included enclosing the stairway.
