Snippets of The Dalles Area Local History May 21, 2006 Page B and May 28, 2006, page B3 Text only This one comes from an email: “At the Lone Pine Restaurant auction a couple weeks ago my husband and I purchased the window panels depicting various activities/locations in The Dalles. We thought they should be kept together and we would like to donate them to an organization (or the city) that might see the potential in them. There are ten panels, approximately 4 feet by 7 ½ feet. Seven of the panels were on outside windows, three on the inside. “Unfortunately, none of the panels are signed. J.G. has been involved with Lone Pine for several years, but he does not know anything about them. Their history might prove to be interesting.” This time we know what we have and where they came from, but don’t know who did them or when. Any background information would be welcome. None of our intrepid history sleuths was able to uncover the origins of the paintings to last week’s History Mystery that were auctioned off after the closure of the Lone Pine Restaurant. The purchasers hope to donate them to an appropriate organization, and several callers suggested the Chamber of Commerce would be an appropriate group. The chamber is currently considering a new building.
