Historical Note
Vista House was was originally designed by Edgar M. Lazarus, Jr. and constructed from 1916-1918. In 1981, the building was included in an assessment, the Columbia River Highway Project, which was directed by the National Park Service and sponsored by a group of local, state, and federal public agencies, private foundations, and other organizations. The project team of historians, architects, landscape architects, and planners conducted a study and inventory of the Columbia River Highway and historic resources along the road to document their condition and make recommendations for conservation and improvements. Among the materials the project team produced were architectural drawings of Vista House and a report, titled "Vista House: Historic Structure Report," which included reduced reprints of the drawings.
