County Jail, Astoria, Oregon

Astoria, Oregon is the oldest settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. The Lewis & Clark Expedition spent the winter of 1805-1806 at Fort Clatsop, near Astoria. In 1811, fur traders sent by John Jacob Astor built Fort Astoria where the city of Astoria is today. Today, Astoria has a population of about 10,000 people.

Gray tones outside and gray moods inside. Looks like there may be some rooms with a view. V
