Review:
Vista House is a museum and memorial to Oregon pioneers. It was built in 1918 as a comfort stop along the Historic Columbia River Highway. It is situated on Crown Point, a 733 foot high outcrop, above the Columbia River. The octagonal sandstone building was designed by Edgar M. Lazarus who modeled it on the German interpretation of the Art Nouveau style. It is 55 feet high, with a marble interior and brass fixtures. The 44 foot wide, domed rotunda is lined with bronze and has a viewing platform. Between the windows are carvings of Native Americans.
