Construction began in November 1922 and was completed in late 1923, and the Hotel Astoria opened for business on January 1, 1924.
The Hotel Astoria (later John Jacob Astor Hotel) was designed by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel , who were based in Portland from 1922 to 1930

The Norblad Hotel & Hostel History:
A.C. Miller and J.H. Jeffers, proprietors of the Sunflower Dairy, hired architect John E. Wicks to design this concrete and brick, two-story business block. In November 1923, a ten-year lease on the second floor was signed with Governor George F. Norblad , and in January, the Hotel Norblad opened its doors. The Bank of Commerce moved into their new quarters in the building and opened for February 28, 1924. This building is significant for its connection to architect John E. Wicks and contribution to the historic streetscape through its quality of design and retention of detail. This building is rare in that it has two doorways with terra cotta surrounds. The glass and pressed tin canopy is the finest canopy in the area. The building is also significant for its incorporation of a hotel, a common trend during the historic period.

Objet n' such
Collection of porcelain and ceramic bowls, vessels and other objects. Some are vintage finds that I embellished, some are new pieces I found while seeking treasures for projects or I just simply stumbled upon them. I often take them up on a mountain, or into the woods, where I get myself situated on a rock and I draw and draw, till sun gets dangerously low and I start hearing various critters waking up... Gotta go.

Interior design and styling
PORTFOLIO OF PAST PROJECTS AND PROJECTS IN PROGRESS COMING SOON
Interiors, architecture and styling have always been my passion.
It can be as simple as helping a client place a piece of art or pick out the right paint color, but usually it evolves into a full on project. I create visual boards for my clients as a guide. I sketch, draw floor plans, design, research, buy and place the pieces. The pieces I am talking about are not just the fine, finish goods of lighting, furnishings, textiles, accessories and art.
I enjoy selecting kitchen and bath fittings, commodes and sinks, knobs and pulls, hinges, flooring and counter top materials, cabinetry, wall coverings….
I study religiously many current publications each month. To stay on top of what’s new in the design world, but not necessarily what’s trendy. I create my own style for the clients, specifying what I’d select for myself. Whenever possible, I select a good quality, heirloom pieces, with a story. I learned from the best, hands on, and continue to learn.
With a new construction, I closely collaborate with developer Paul Caruana, http://caruanainc.com/
I love picking out windows, doors, play with electrical layouts and other elements to fulfill the clients’, developer’s and architect’s vision.
