The Shelburne Hotel: A Seaview Landmark
historic place
The Shelburne Hotel, located in Seaview, Washington, is a significant historic place in Pacific County. It was originally built in 1896 by Charles L. Beaver, who named it after a grand hotel in Dublin, Ireland. The initial structure served as a hotel and boarding house. In 1911, a notable event occurred: the original Shelburne Hotel building was moved across the street by a team of horses. It was then joined with another structure, expanding its capacity. This relocation established the hotel at its current site. The Shelburne Hotel holds the distinction of being the longest continuously operating hotel in Washington State. Over the decades, it has remained a central part of the Long Beach Peninsula community, adapting while retaining much of its historic character. Its enduring presence offers a tangible link to the region's past.
