Description

The landmark column sits prominently on top of Coxcomb Hill in downtown Astoria. This 125-foot column was built in 1926 and has a 166-stair spiral staircase, leading you to a grand viewpoint. From the top of this column, you will have far-reaching views of Mount St. Helens, Youngs Bay, Astoria's waterfront and the downtown area. On the column, the faded but readable painted murals depict scenes from Astoria's colorful past.
