The Illahee Apartments In the late 1950’s, prominent local architect Ebba Wicks Brown believed that downtown Astoria needed a mod- ern apartment complex. Her dream was to exceed all expectations, provid- ing futuristic architecture with mod- ern conveniences and unsurpassed views in a superior downtown loca- tion. Her passion was so great that she spent over ten years planning and designing the most up-to-date apart- ment complex in the Pacific North- west. Construction began in 1968 on the block bordered by 10th, 11th, Franklin and Grand. In 1969 The Illahee Apartments were opened.
