Rock Point, Oregon

Rock Point Stage Station
Rock Point Tavern was built in 1864 by L.J. White who originally built this structure to be a hotel and tavern. It also served
as one of the first telegraph stations in Oregon. After the establishment of stage routes in the area, it became a stage station. Despite the demise of Rock Point as a community, the building remained. It is pictured here as it was in 1936, when the U.S.
Dept. of Interior photographed it for their Historic American Buildings Survey. Today, the building and surrounding property is owned by Del Rio Vineyards who have done an exceptional job restoring the building and currently manage a vineyard of over 200,000
vines on the grounds. They make excellent wine and are open to the public.
