Hotel Oregon  |  McMenamins  |  Hotel Elberton

310 NE Evans Street  |  Built 1905 

Hotel Oregon is the largest hotel building in Yamhill County. It was built in 1905 and exhibits classic Richardsonian Romanesque styling that was very popular around the turn of the 20th Century, which prominently uses native stone and brick. The building was originally designed as four stories tall, but only the first two floors were completed initially, the upper floors were added several years later. 

During the first half of the 20th Century the hotel’s restaurant and dining facilities were very popular. It faced a decline in the postwar 1950’s which saw the hotel frequently change management and ownership. During this era, the dining area was divided into facilities for a taxi company and a beauty parlor, while the main lobby served as a bus depot. 

Thankfully, the site is currently a thriving hotel and restaurant again, after being purchased by Oregon’s popular McMenamins group of restaurants and hotels. Now known as McMenamins Hotel Oregon, the building is one of downtown McMinnville’s great hubs. It’s rooftop eating area is the highest point in downtown McMinnville and offers great views of the city, the coast mountains, and iconic views of both Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson.
