French-born Alexandre
Gilbert was a veteran of the
Franco-Prussian W ar in 1870
before following business
interests to San Francisco.
According to Gilbert Inn
Hotel history, learning in
1881 that land was cheap in
Oregon, Gilbert and his wife
Emma moved north to Asto-
ria. Struck by the rugged
beauty of the Oregon Coast
and the resemblance to his
native France, he saw great
potential and spent the next 54
years helping to develop busi-
nesses, property and commu-
nities in the area.
Gilbert moved to Sea-
side in 1890 and was elected

ing the current retail tenants
while upgrading the histori-
cal appearance of the facade

“You can come over

world, something they’ve
never tried before,” Jus-

tour. “Fresh-roasted coff ee
has a totally diff erent taste.”
Along with local coff ee
afi cionados, Boone is aiming
for visitors who want a rainy
weather activity, or want to
celebrate a special occasion.
“It could say something as
simple as ‘happy birthday’
on it,” Boone said.
Employees will shadow

Boone, 49, grew up in
Snoqualmie,
Washing-
ton, went to high school in
Aloha. He moved to South-
ern California for the hot rod
scene. “My fi rst car that I
built from the ground up was
a ’63 Studebaker,” he said.
“I went through a ’31 Ford
Model A to a ’53 Chevy.”
The couple, Seaside resi-
dents, have been married for
eight years, with a 4-year-
old son, Shiloh.
Justin Boone’s fi rst year
and a half with Burly and the
Bean has been a great expe-
rience, he said. “It’s defi -
nitely had its ups and downs.
At one point we lost all our
employees. But we love it
here so far.”
Hours at Burly and the
Bean Coff ee Roasters will
be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to start,
he said.
Boone believes the busi-
ness will be one of the fi rst
of its kind. “We want to be
able to hopefully use this as
a model to build on to possi-
bly other locations,” he said.
“ ... I am hoping that his dream
and vision for the property in
the heart of Seaside’s busi-
ness district will all come to
fruition.”

While a design has yet to
be delivered, the hotel could
come with an upstairs lobby,
bistro, coff ee shop and rooftop
restaurant, catering to a high-
end audience. Rooms could
have small kitchens and liv-
ing areas.
Khan said he expects the
new hotel to open in 2023.
Renovation costs could
come to an additional $3.5
million, making the invest-
ment exceed $6 million.
Owners hope to work
with the city and the Seaside
Museum & Historical Soci-
ety to off er multimedia dis-
plays highlighting the history
of Seaside, with photos, vid-
eos and memorabilia dating
back to the 1800s. “We want
to bring small-town history to
the world,” Khan said.
Steve Wright, president
of the Seaside Museum and
a Seaside city councilor, said
the building is among the old-
est commercial buildings in
Seaside.
“I trust that Mr. Khan will
very likely enhance the look
of the building, as he has done
with other Seaside properties
that he has renovated,” Wright
said.

mayor in 1912 .
Gilbert rebuilt the four-
block Gilbert District at the
intersection of Broadway and
Holladay Drive after Sea-
side’s fi re in 1912 destroyed
most of the city’s downtown.
The Gilbert Block Building
was completed in 1914.
Gilbert later donated the
land for the Promenade. He
died in 1935 at age 90. After
Gilbert died, his heirs sold his
real estate holdings.
The section of the Gil-
bert Block Building along the
Necanicum River was built in
the 1940s.
In 2002, Avery Loschen
and Will Perkins acquired the
building at a time when the
area was looking for a revival,
with more empty storefronts
than occupied ones.
During the last two
decades, the Gilbert Dis-
trict has become a cultural
and shopping destination for
locals and tourists, anchored
by Beach Books and the Fair-
weather House and Gallery.
Khan anticipates an early
January
groundbreaking
at the property, with a rib-
bon-cutting ceremony for
the hotel and his other real
estate endeavors along South
Holladay.
Mayor Jay Barber said
he was excited about the
recent purchase.
