This secondary headland is commonly known as Otter Crest, a name also appropriated by Oregon Parks and Recreation Department for the adjacent State Scenic Viewpoint. The Look-Out was built and operated by Wilbur “Buck” and Anna Badley. The business began briefly as the Foulweather Coffee Shop, but soon shifted into a very successful gift shop when the Badleys realized people were most interested in purchasing souvenirs of their visit to the coast.  Upon the completion of the Roosevelt Coast Military Highway (U.S. 101) in 1932 and associated bridges in 1936, tourists could more easily travel and visit sites along the Pacific Ocean. The Look-Out is an excellent example of an isolated entrepreneurial venture along the central coast that capitalized on the public investment based upon the urging and support of the citizens of Oregon. This building is also associated with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Beach Patrol, which operated in Oregon from 1942 to 1944.  After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the coastline was considered vulnerable to attack and constant surveillance was vital to protect the U.S. from further attacks.  The Look-Out was a strategic vantage point from which to watch for enemy invasion. Six men from the Coast Guard resided in The Look-Out to help defend the coast during this period of time.  A place for visitors to enjoy spectacular views, watch for whales and other sea life, and purchase souvenirs of their travels to the central Oregon coast, The Look-Out is now an Oregon State Park facility that continues to provide unique experiences for those who travel to see the Pacific Ocean and all that it has to offer.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: 99W Drive-in Theatre (Newberg, Oregon) Author: Francis, J. T. (Ted) Year: 1953 The 99W Drive-In Theatre is a single-screen drive-in theater with spaces to accommodate 275 to 300 cars (note that an indoor theater with two screens is also located on the parcel). The theater is a distinct property type of the Modern era which, in this case, displays modest influences of the Googie style. The elements direct the user to and into the site, setting the tone for the outdoor movie experience. The other buildings and structures are more utilitarian, supporting the functions of the theater. The theater was built by J.T. (Ted) Francis and opened July 31, 1953. The sign, ticket booth, projection booth, and concession stand are all original to the theater grounds, which cover approximately 4.5 acres. The drive-in is presently on its third screen. Although the drive-in has remained at the same location since 1953, the boundaries of the city of Newberg have changed. In 1953 the eastern city limit of Newberg was at Villa Road, leaving the 99W Drive-In Theatre about three-quarters of a mile outside the city limits. Today the city limit has advanced a half-mile further east, past the drive-in (to where the Newberg Ford and the Providence Hospital are now located), putting the 99W well within the city limits. The entrance is still on Portland Road but originally the entrance drive was just past the east side of the marquee. The driveway entrance was moved to the west side of the marquee when a traffic light was installed at the Portland Road/Springbrook Road intersection in the 1960s. The drive-in exit remains on North Springbrook Road. There are six contributing resources on the site: the drive-in sign, parking area, screen, ticket booth, maintenance shop, and the projection booth/concessions building/Twin Cinemas. The buildings lie on the northeastern portion of the property while the screen is to the southwest. The primary parking area is between the screen and the buildings.; Modern Movement; Googie Title: 99W Drive-in Theatre (Newberg, Oregon) Author: Francis, J. T.
