The building on Laneda that now houses Left Coast Siesta was the Lane Hotel, named after the founder of Manzanita, Ben Lane. The first in town.
Its Wayback Whens Day. Here's one from the "Learn Somethiing New Every Day" file. This image was recently shared to me by Jeff Kyriss-Mooney at Left Coast Siesta. We have been talking about the building that we have always known as the Lane Hotel. It showed up on the Oregon Historic Sites Database as the Laneda Lodge and was noted as no longer inexistence. We talked and started to get the OHSD to change their information but then Jeff found this photo. There it is, the Laneda Lodge! Now we're working to decide if it is the oldest building in Manzanita. Some folks say that the San Dune, originally the post office, may predate it.
If this kind of stuff interests you, message NVHS since we are starting to collect inofrmation about Manzanita's historic buildings to get the OHSD updated.
