The Oregon Coast has a special history of art deco style due to the six major bridges built by Conde B. McCullough in the late 1930s. These bridges did more than open the door to modern transportation, they left a unique art deco legacy on the coast. As the new highway-oriented culture took root, the modern progressive design of the bridges affected new construction in places like Newports City Center business district. This resulted in a distinct pocket of art deco style, one with its own unique history and culture. Today, the coast's unique art deco heritage is being revitalized by the City Center Newport Deco District.
