Ashland, Oregon lost this beautiful historic building in 1961. It was built circa 1888, and was known as Hotel Oregon, later as Hotel Austin and then Hotel Ashland. It was remodeled in the teens with stucco and a new looking veranda. A fire in the late 1920's took the roof, which was then replaced with a tile roof. The building still looked great. It was a centerpiece for downtown Ashland, a landmark. Then in 1961 it was torn down. This demolition and others in Ashland over the next ten years inspired the forming of the Ashland Historic Commission and the creation of four National Register Historic Districts in Ashland.

I am very much interested in and dedicated to Historic Preservation, both as a hobby and in my work as a photographer and Ashland Historian.

I work with traditional and digital photography. I specialize in copying and restoring historical photographs and making custom photographic prints.

I also work with Ashland, Oregon area historical photographs and related historical research and photography.

In addition to 35mm film and digital, I work with medium and large format film and have provided many photos, both old and new, for use in books and other publications. Please contact me for pricing and other information.

Thank you,
