The Gearhart Hotel...A Memory Locked Inside A Melody...

MEMORIES INTO MELODIES

the Charles David Latourette Home

Latourette Cottage achieves significance as an excellent and early Oregon example of residential architecture in the Stick Style and the Queen Anne Style. It is the oldest extant home in Gearthart built in 1892. The Latourette Cottage also contributes to the historic character of Gearhart’s oldest neighborhood along the Ridge Path. It was also a wonderful place for me to stay during an entire summer when I was a lifeguard at the Gearhart pool. My sister, Carole Connell and I have been the owners of the house for quite some time and have enjoyed it greatly.
