Here you look out over Astoria's first neighborhood.
Platted in 1846 by prominent pioneers, Colonel John McClure and John Shively, this district was home to our most influential citizens; elected officials, leading businessmen, cannery magnates, ship captains, logging barons.
The district was also home to Astoria's working class-Chinese, Yugoslavian, and Scandinavian immigrants who worked in canneries lining the riverfront.

That diversity is reflected in the district's architectural styles.
After a 1922 downtown fire, many larger homes were converted to apartments, a trend that peaked in WW II.
Shively-McClure was also home to the first post office west of the Rockies, three blocks below this marker.
