Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2016 Cafe Uniontown building in Astoria goes up for sale OBITUARIES Ruth Marie (Jessen) Huckey Oregon City June 5, 1947 — Oct. 10, 2016 By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian The proposed Workmans Irish Pub location in Astoria’s Uniontown neighborhood has been put up for sale by owner Jim Wilkins. Erica Miltenberger, who owns Workmans Irish Pub in Tillamook, had built out Wilkins’ building for her sec- ond location. But the Oregon Liquor Control Commission in September proposed deny- ing Miltenberger a liquor license . Wilkins said he is hoping a young, energetic owner can take over the building. “I’m getting on in age, and I really don’t want to monkey with it,” he said. Aside from some short- lived eateries, the build- ing has been largely vacant since 2007, when Wilkins last operated the long-ten- ured Cafe Uniontown. He bought the building in 1992 from Rae Goforth, the build- ing’s previous owner and unofﬁ cial “Mayor of Union- town.” Goforth operated an Irish restaurant called Fid- dler’s Green in the building until 1980, and started Cafe Uniontown there in 1982.

I think that’s what it could be again.” The building, at 218 W. Marine Drive, is listed through Windermere/Paciﬁ c Land Co. for $320,000. Across Marine Drive from Wilkins’ building, Uniontown standby Mary Todd’s Work- ers Bar & Grill is also up for sale for $595,000, including the building and business. Wilkins said he sees the neighborhood growing and becoming more active with investments by the city and Port of Astoria . The city has offered urban renewal money to help building own- ers improve facades. The Port has a contract with a hotel developer studying the feasi- bility of a new Marriott near the Maritime Memorial. “I see the whole district kind of blossoming over the next ﬁ ve to 10 years,” Wilkins said.
