Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and selected for inclusion in Save America's Treasures is testimony to the significance of Vista House at Crown Point, Oregon. This book tells the story of the genesis of the building, the movers and shakers who made it happen, the disputes between the players, and the unique architectural design. It begins in 1915 and continues through to the current day, describing the deterioration from use and weather that almost destroyed the "crown" of the Columbia River Highway. The forty-plus black and white photographs help convey why Vista House is a legacy to all of us and to future generations.

Kathleen McManus Overton combined her background in research with her love of Vista House to tell the story of one of the nation's historic icons. As a volunteer for the Friends of Vista House she has spent several years as the book selector for the Gift Shop, and has seen a need for an information book that visitors could buy to remember and share their experience at the "Crown of the Historic Columbia River Highway."
