When this house was built, the village of Seaview, Washington, had been platted for only four years.
========================================================
Seaview's history began in 1859 when Jonathan Stout, a cooper from Ohio, arrived on the Long Beach Peninsula.
In 1880 he purchased 153 acres along the ocean front with plans for a summer resort. He ran through several names for the resort—Stout's, Ocean View, North Pacific Beach, and finally Sea View.
He built a hotel a few hundred feet from the mean high tide line with an ocean view across the driftwood that accumulated every winter. A half mile of accreted sand covered with trees now separate the hotel's site from the ocean due to the effects of the North Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia River.
Stout recorded his townsite at the Pacific County courthouse in October 1881 and soon began selling lots. Most were fifty by one hundred feet and sold for one hundred dollars. To build a cottage on a lot cost between two and three hundred dollars.
They were board-and-batten on the outside, with no insulation or interior plasterwork. Many Portlanders purchased lots and built houses in Seaview throughout the 1880s and early 1890s, until the Panic of 1893 put a damper on such luxuries.
Most of those who built summer homes in Seaview would ride a steamboat down the Columbia River to Astoria on the Oregon side where they would disembark and board a smaller steamboat to take them across the river to Ilwaco. There they could transfer their trunks to a wagon and be drawn by horses the rest of the way. The wagon route went through the woods on a plank road to the "weather beach," and then along the beach to Seaview.
In 1889 the Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company began regular service on a narrow gauge railroad that ran up the Long Beach Peninsula to Nahcotta. The Seaview depot—no more than a shed and platform at first—was near Stout's hotel, the "Sea View House."
With railway service, summering families could board the railcars right on the Ilwaco docks for the trip up the peninsula. In 1885, many hundreds of people were estimated to be coming to the peninsula for summer vacation. In 1900, the South Bend Journal reported that the number of summer vacationers had grown to 20,000.
In 1892 US Senator and Portland businessman Henry Winslow Corbett built a vacation home in Seaview on three acres facing the ocean. This summer home, which he named Westborough House, included the main three-story house with a ballroom on the second floor as well as housing for the servants and a stable for horses and carriages. A cow accompanied the family for its summer sojourn on the peninsula so they would always have fresh milk.
In the late 1930s the property left the Corbett family and became the Grandview Lodge, welcoming tourists with rooms in the main house and cabins on the grounds. Grandview Lodge is now the Sou'wester Lodge, still an imposing sight on the Seaview beach approach. It has often functioned as a cultural center in Seaview, hosting lectures, literary events, topical discussions, dramatic performances, and chamber concerts. The Corbett pasture is now an RV park and campground.
In 1905 a regular depot was built at Seaview on the east side of the tracks. The Seaview Depot's front doors opened toward the north onto the main Seaview beach approach road, and a long wooden boardwalk ran along the tracks on the west side of the depot and past adjoining businesses to the south end of the block. Departing passengers stood on the boardwalk the length of the block awaiting a train's arrival.
Two photos of the depot from 1908 and 1910 show three or four businesses on the boardwalk south of the depot. The photos, linked below, show no business names, but there appear to be an ice cream shop, an "Oyster House and Lunch Room," and a fish market. The first photo shows a train approaching the station from the south. The second photo shows a train heading north as it departs the station.
In each photo, the same two children in the same outfits are looking at the photographer from the west side of the tracks. Despite the labeling of one photo as "circa 1910" and the other as "circa 1908," the photos were apparently taken only minutes apart on the same day.
The Seaview depot building still exists, and is now a restaurant. The Hotel Shelburne, built in Seaview in 1896, still exists today as the Shelburne Country Inn. Other hotels in Seaview included the Hackney Cottage, Sunset Hotel, The Hotel Seaview and The Sou'Wester Inn.
Pastel, 75 x 73 cm, 1884-1885, musée d'Orsay, Paris.
Avec ce pastel, E Degas revisite une thématique déjà abordée dans sa production des années 1870 : les ballerines au repos. Il reprend également ses études régulières sur les effets de contre-jour, éclairage qui "enlève en silhouette", supprime les détails, gomme les signes distinctifs d'un visage et d'un corps les rendant anonymes. Mais tout en usant de formules anciennes, Danseuses innove par son format, sa composition, et constitue sans doute le témoignage le plus important de ce que l'on a appelé la "période classique" de E Degas. Vers 1884, le peintre, en effet, simplifie sa composition, réduit la profondeur de son espace pictural, rabaisse son point de vue pour le rapprocher de la normale et se concentre sur un seul personnage ou groupe de figures. Il abandonne du même coup les intentions souvent caricaturales des oeuvres précédentes etl répond ainsi à une aspiration exprimée par la critique et le public, protester "contre le fouillis des tons et la complication des effets dont crève la peinture contemporaine".
E Degas utilise ici un format presque carré, inhabituel chez lui à cette date, mais qu'il reprendra souvent par la suite. Alors qu'auparavant, il jouait dans ses "classes de danse" sur des figures isolées et de grands vides, il groupe ici six figures qui se touchent et se répondent, formant une sorte de créature unique à plusieurs têtes, plusieurs bras et plusieurs pattes. La blancheur des tutus assure la transition d'un corps l'autre et les gestes se font écho. Une lumière inégale et crue qui avive l'éclat d'un dos et d'une épaule, la blondeur ou la rousseur d'une chevelure. Et le pastel tantôt dense, tantôt léger, traduit admirablement le vaporeux des tutus, l'aspect gris et poussiéreux de cette salle. Il permet également de brusques éclats colorés, tels le rouge et le jaune presque vert d'un chignon.
L'oeuvre annonce les impressionnantes séries de danseuses des années 1890 et 1900. E Degas reprendra alors des gestes et des attitudes similaires, jouant sur des coloris différents. Mais Danseuses est unique et n'a suscité aucune réplique, aucune variation. C'est un chef d'oeuvre qui prouve, au moment où l'impressionnisme se disloque, où P Renoir, C Pissarro et C Monet tâtonnent, l'étonnante vitalité de l'artiste (cf. musée d'Orsay).

Huile sur toile, 39 x 56 cm, 1885, Pola Art Museum, Hakone (Japon).
Saint-Mammès est au confluent de la Seine et du Loing, au nord de Moret-sur-Loing. Sisley a vécu à Veneux-Nadon en 1880-1882, puis en septembre 1882 a déménagé dans le village riverain du Loin de Moret-sur-Loing. Saint-Mammès était un lieu stratégique pour le transport fluvial et connu sous le nom de Village du Capitaine. Dans ses dernières années, Sisley a produit des œuvres centrées sur ce domaine.
Cette œuvre, qui place l'horizon plus bas que le centre de l'écran, capture le mouvement des nuages et de l'herbe brillamment éclairée sur la berge d'un rapide coup de pinceau, traduisant clairement la sensation de lumière et de vent que Sisley a ressentie lors de sa production en extérieur (Cf. Pola Art Museum).

This series is the result of a recent news flash. Boy was Eureka ever open for serious mining business! It even showed itself off as a town in the day. I found the mill shot shot on Wiki Commons on a search and the mine on a USGS search.
Eureka mining camp was not far up the Animas River above Silverton where three creeks and three Mears narrow gauge railroads converged, It found it's way as a small mining camp into Crofutt's GripSack Guide, Encylopedia of Colorado 1885 which came ou several decades before the first US Copyright law. This is want was supposedly found by Crofutt or suggested by area elite. He even claims to have found that Bird, Colorado must have grown wings and fkown away. Mining cmps galore in his compendium, all compiled as a guide to the new state.
Only mill foundations remained after the fire. The mill shows its productivity and the size of the mine itself. This mill was at Eureka, Colorado a short way up the Animas River, northeast from Silverton, Colorado but the mine was far atop the bluff behind the bluff above and between the Amimas and Cement Creek to the West. A Cement Creek mill, the Gold King, became famous for the river spill blamed on the actions of the EPA. I heard the news about the spill but never really believed the news report, knowing the scope of the vast Sunnyside mine above atop the mountain and on the rise to the East. Any water source in the mountains will always find its way downhill. Gold King was located up Cement creek, the center of the Silverton feed creeks.
I suspected the Sunnyside was the source of the flood as soon as the story was out. When poking Youtube for Colorado mining camps, I found an excellent clip on Eureka that relayed the entire Sunnyside story and suggeted there was a shaft from the Sunnyside and the Gold King. Both had rail access in the day. It also related that Lake Emma near the mine drained to the Gold King which may have sourced the flood.
As it actually worked out, I noticed a news clip last week that the Sunnyside company paid out $1.3 million for the spill although most in the right wing blamed it on the government and the EPA. I have no idea how many lawsuits were lodged. I also wonder how the money was squeezed from the Sunneyside paid out when I thought it was shuttered a couple decades ago. I was right all along about the Gold King spill.
Before blaming the EPA for its work, remember the EPA cleaned up the vast mill south of Duarngo, Colorado. Ol' Neal Miller pointed out to me it was at the junction of the RGS in from Nucla, Colorado and the D&RGW east over the divide and access to a New Mexico site called named Los Animas. I will avoid walking the site and kicking up the dirt!
