History of the Neah-Kah-Nie Tavern: In 1912, Samuel Reed named his new property development Neahkahnie. Reed commissioned Portland architect Ellis Lawrence to design a hotel.The building, called the Neahkahnie Travern, was erected at the western end of Nehalem Road close to the beach with views of the mountain.In all, there were three floors with a restaurant, eight baths and 19 guest rooms. The family had its own quarters above the kitchen.The Neahkahnie Tavern flourished during the 1920’s, languished during the Great Depression of the 1930’s, and was commandeered by the Coast Guard in the early 1940’s.After Samuel Reed died, his widow sold it. The building passed through several owners until it burned under somewhat questionable circumstances in 1956.“There was an attempt to restore it and there were economic difficulties,” Mock said. “When it burned, there was every reason to believe it was intentional”He adds that had the building not burned, it would perhaps remain as one of the most desired destinations on the west coast.Now, all that remains – buried between overgrowth and dunes – is a glimpse of the foundation and chimney.Source: https://tillamookcoast.com/blog/neahkahnie-tavern-history/
