| TITLE | Home of George Flavel in Astoria, Oregon, 1962 |
| COLLECTION | Ben Maxwell |
| DESCRIPTION | This is the home of George Flavel in Astoria, Clatsop County, Oregon, as seen on October 5, 1962. At that time this mansion was used as a museum in Astoria. Captain Flavel once owned the land on which the community of Flavel is situated. That is the reason why Flavel was named for him. In 1892 ambitious schemes were put on foot to build a railroad from Salem to Flavel, and the townsite concern, the Flavel Land and Development Company, laid plans for a big terminal to rival Astoria. In 1897, a fine hotel was built, which enjoyed a short season of social gaiety, but Astoria was too strongly entrenched for the rival community, which so far has not made the expected development. It is said that the name of the Clatsop Indian village at what is now Flavel was Konapee. |
