This list presents the full set of buildings, structures, objects, sites, or districts designated on the

Opened in 1925 amid reconstruction after
Astoria's fire of 1922, this
theater and commercial building symbolized the city's rebirth. Its
Italian Renaissance style was unique in Astoria, and the auditorium features a set of 12
mural-style paintings depicting
Venetian canal scenes by local artist
Joseph Knowles.[7]
Remains of a
Tillamookvillage and two dense
shell middens at this
archaeological site have been
dated to span roughly 1100–1700
CE. This large and complex site is mostly intact, and has extensive potential to yield information for future research.[10]
Retired in 1979 as the last
lightship to be stationed at the
Columbia River Bar — or anywhere on the
Pacific coast of the
United States — WAL-604 retains the best historic integrity of the last generation of
U.S. Coast Guard lightships after 1939. WAL-604,
built in 1950, and its relatives closely resembled earlier lightship
types in external appearance, but were a distinct departure in their overall
design.[11]
The home of "
Bumble Bee" tuna, this was the longest continuously-operated

tuna in the 1930s. The cannery was destroyed by fire on January 26, 1993.[14][16]
