Who do you think will win the World Cup?
“Croatia.”
“France, unfortu-
nately. I saw the
game today. I wish
it was England,
but England always
fumbles the ball.”
“I was really heavily
invested in Mexico.
So after they lost,
I stopped paying

William Hicks has received a $7,100 state grant to help remove the metal facade from
the former Abeco Office Systems storefront on Commercial Street.
Local boat and building
projects get state support
The Daily Astorian
Two local projects have
received funding through the
state Heritage Commission.
The Astoria Ferry Group,
a nonprofit seeking to restore
the historic Tourist No. 2 ferry,
received $20,000 to weath-
erize the vessel’s topside.
The ferry recently moved to
Pier 39, where volunteers are
restoring it in the hopes of
getting certified by the Coast
Guard to take large groups out
on the Columbia River.
William Hicks, owner of
the Abeco Building, received
$7,100 through the state’s
Diamonds in the Rough grant
program to remove a metallic
facade along the Commercial
Street storefront. Hicks pur-
chased the building last year
and has been restoring it into
an indoor marketplace named
Astor Court. He must provide
an equal match to the state
grant.
The grants were part of
$206,000 awarded to 13 his-
toric properties and archaeol-
ogy projects around the state.

Corp., in February secured
a building permit for a new
storage building at the site.
Cullen was not imme-
diately available for com-

Ted Osborn, a local archi-
tect and preservationist, has
sold the Allen Building at the
corner of Commercial and
10th streets in Astoria to Lake
Oswego couple Daniel Kaiser
and Yvonne Troutman.
Troutman, who manages a
plastic surgery clinic in Clack-
amas, said she and Kaiser, an
auto dealership owner and for-
mer world foosball champion,
fell in love with Astoria and
were looking for opportunities
to invest locally. The two also
own a 19th century duplex in
Astoria and visit often.
“It’s really important to me
to keep the vibe of what Asto-
ria is,” Troutman said. “My
concern is that as it becomes
a more popular destination,
there will be more outside

Local business owner
Steve Cullen is creating a
new recreational dock along
Youngs Bay.
Cullen owns a plot of land
along Olney Avenue east of
the Astoria Recreation Center.
The Cullen Pier Resto-
ration Project would connect
two existing piers jutting out
from the property, adding
nearly 6,000 square feet. The
project would also replace up
to 60 historical pilings.

alike, Troutman said. “I think
what’s going to be important is
finding businesses that are sus-
tainable year-round.”
Built in 1924, the Allen
Building originally housed a
shoe store and a men’s cloth-
ing company. Osborn and his
wife, Wendy, purchased the
building in 2011 as a fixer-up-
per. They won a Dr. Edward
Harvey Award for Historic
Preservation from the city in
