Film: Crew is shooting movie at Flavel House
Continued from Page 1A
Not only is the Clatsop County
Historical Society allowing the crew
to use rooms inside the Flavel House,
moving furniture around from room
to room, a number of artifacts from
the society’s collection are on loan as
props, things like medical equipment
and medicine bottles. It’s a big under-
taking for a small staff to take on.
“Our curator’s main mission is to
catalogue and take care of our artifacts
and this is certainly pushing the com-
fort zone of a curator,” said McAn-
drew Burns, executive director of the
historical society.
“It’s the biggest artifact we have,”
added Sam Rascoe, the historical soci-
ety’s director of marketing.
“And it’s irreplaceable,” Burns
said. “There were questions like ‘Can
we paint the walls?’ Well, no, you
can’t because these are the original
colors … and the woodwork has never
been touched.”
But the historical society also oper-
ates the Oregon Film Museum out of
the historic Clatsop County Jail just
next door to the Flavel House. So
Burns and Rascoe love that not only is
a film shooting in Oregon, it’s shoot-
ing in Astoria, at one of the city’s most
recognizable historic landmarks.
“It would probably be easier for us
not to participate,” Burns said. “Prob-
ably it would be easier for them just to
build a set, but, you know, it wouldn’t
be real.”
Moving day
To accommodate the crew,
museum staff and film crew will move
furniture around — in the large music
room on the ground floor almost
everything, including a piano, will
be shuffled around — stashing pieces
that won’t be used as props around
corners, in hallways, in other rooms,
and even up in the tower. It’s some-
what in keeping with history: the Fla-
vels first moved into the house in
April 1886.
“So it’s moving day,” Burns said.
“It’s just we’re interpreting moving
day from 1886.”
The Flavel House, in pristine con-

dition and with its massive rooms,
high ceilings and wide hallways, was
an ideal workspace for a film crew.
Oregon offers incentives for compa-
nies that film in the state, including
rebates for using Oregon-based goods
and services, but producers of “The
Mortuary Collection” have also cred-
ited Rascoe with selling them on Asto-
ria. Rascoe took location scouts and
producers on a tour of the city, show-
ing off a variety of potential locations,
not just historical society properties.
They now plan to film at spots across
Astoria and Clatsop County.
“One of the things we recognize
is just like a visitor doesn’t come to
town for one thing, a film company’s
not going to come here just to film in
the Flavel House,” Burns said. “And,
you know, rising waters.”
Ross said the company has looked
around Clatsop County for some of
its crew, even bringing in high school
students to prepare sets. Calls have
gone out locally for film crew candi-
dates and even for old cars.
One-of-a-kind
Burns would not disclose how
much the film company is paying the
historical society for the use of the
Flavel House and museum artifacts.
“They are an independent produc-
tion and they’re paying us appropri-
ately,” he said. “Certainly enough that
we are being closed to the public. If
we were going to lose money for lost
admission income, we wouldn’t do it.
We’re a nonprofit, we can’t afford to
do that.”
The Flavel House was closed to
visitors on Monday, marking the first
time Burns can ever remember clos-
ing the museum to the public for any
reason other than weather. It opened
Tuesday, but will be closed again for
the next three days as filming contin-
ues. A section of Eighth Street was
also closed Monday to allow film
crew to move around safely and get
exterior shots, but will likely be open
for most of the week as filming moves
indoors.
A museum staff member will be on
site at all times to make sure the house
is respected and the artifacts taken
care of during filming.
“As much as I’m saying things
like that and it seems like we’re going
to be tough guys, they’ve been very
aware that they’re filming in a very
precious, one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable
artifact and a significant piece of local
history,” Burns said. “They’ve fallen
in love with Astoria, they’ve fallen in
love with the house and so far they’ve
shown a great deal of respect.”

In other business:
• The City Council unani-
mously approved a contract with
Hampton Tree Farms for a tim-
ber harvest on approximately 50
acres of the Bear Creek water-
shed, the source of Astoria’s
drinking water.
Hampton was the only bid on
the project.
The commercial thinning and
variable retention treatment will
occur near the watershed’s north-
eastern boundary during the sum-
mer and after the primary bird
breeding and nesting periods,
said City Forester Ben Hayes.
Part of the harvest involves the
removal of Douglas fir stands
impacted by Swiss needle cast, a
fungus that attacks the crowns of
the trees and stunts their growth.
Wind-firm native hemlock and
spruce will be left standing.
The harvest is estimated
to bring in a gross revenue
$259,400. The costs of road
improvements and replanting
are expected to cut the final net
revenue down to an estimated
$199,500.
Commercial thinning and
other types of timber harvest
occur regularly in the water-
shed and are key to maintaining
a healthy watershed, according to
city staff.
Astoria harvests less than
25 percent of the growth in the
watershed. The money gained
from the harvests goes to the
city’s capital improvement fund
and has helped pay for things like
a new ladder truck for the Astoria
Fire Department.
Last year, Hayes oversaw
a routine thinning of 52 acres
near the watershed’s southwest-
ern boundary that brought in
$228,651 net revenue for the city.

Astoria looks to clarify the rules on accessory dwelling units.
Removal is not expected to affect endan-
gered bird species.
In January 2017, residents filled the Gear-
hart Fire Station for a town hall meeting on
an amendment permitting the removal of
noxious weeds.
The workshop led to the formation of the
Dune Vegetation Committee, comprised of
both permanent and part-time residents.
The committee presented its findings to
the City Council last summer. City coun-
cilors agreed to consider recommendations
from the committee after finding that city
rules, written in 1994, failed to provide clear
guidance.
A decision to proceed with the amend-
ments was endorsed by councilors last week.
The written ordinance will likely be pre-
sented in May, with a goal of passage by
July, Sweet said.
