Additionally, the building has been the
location of a bank branch and other retail
and commercial uses.
The four-storySpexarthBuilding, recipient
of a 2008 Historic Preservation Award,
is one block west at 8th and Commercial
Streets. The Captain George Flavel House
Museum, Clatsop County Court House,
and U.S. Post Office are also nearby.
The building has three store fronts along
Commercial Street, and two store fronts
along 9th Street. 904 Commercial Street
was used by the former bank branch
and had lobby and teller areas, and break
and work rooms and two restrooms. 922
Commercial Street is the smallest store front, and has a restroom. 936 Commercial Street has a large
room, walk-in safe, work room, two bathrooms, and a small upstairs area. The two store fronts on 9th
Street share an entry door, and each has a restroom. There is a full basement with an old freight elevator,
currently out-of-order, which provides access to the sidewalk on 9th Street.
The building is in poor condition, and will require significant renovation. Options for its reuse are for
single, or multiple, tenants.
The building is three blocks from the Astoria Riverfront Trolley, which is a three mile long heritage
streetcar that operates along Astoria’s waterfront, using former railroad tracks.
Astoria has been undergoing revitalization as a tourist destination along Oregon’s north coast, with
the restoration of the Liberty Theatre, historic Elliott Hotel, and mixed-use redevelopment of Mill Pond
Village, providing both vacation, and year-roundwaterfront housing. Astoria has also grown as a cultural
haven, with a mix of chef-driven restaurants, three breweries, Columbia River Maritime Museum, and
Liberty Theatre, which operates as a performing arts center, concert hall, and elegant event venue.
