Scope and content
- View of the Crown Point promontory at the Columbia River Gorge. This scenic lookout point is about 15 miles east of Portland. The Columbia River Highway was constructed between 1913-1922, and a building called Vista House was erected at Crown Point in 1916. Vista House is a landmark today, serving as a rest station and interpretative center. In this photo, it appears that the building is in the beginning stages of construction. Far below Crown Point, we see the Rooster Rock formation, a basalt column first recorded by the Lewis & Clark expedition.
