Pictured in 1891, this shore view of the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is said to be one of the oldest pictures taken in the state of Oregon. Built in 1880, 'Terrible Tilley', as she was often referred to, was decommissioned in 1957. Unattended and abandoned for 20 years, the light was eventually designated a National Historic Monument and wildlife refuge.
