Never burned down which is a major disappointment to me.

Here is a snip about how the town got its name.

"When Long-Bell applied for a post office, the U.S. Postal Service advised that there already was a “Long View, Washington,” and rejected the request. The company discovered that Long View was a flag stop on the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad in Benton County, servicing only three rural families. After negotiations, the community agreed to relinquish the name “Long View” if Long-Bell would build them a covered platform, at a cost of $25, to protect the mail sacks thrown from passing trains. The name “Longview” in Cowlitz County became official in January 1923, with the establishment of a U.S. Post Office there."

Here is link https://historylink.org/File/8560 to a very interesting city history.

Wooden walkways, wooden power poles, wooden water tank, wooden rail cars, wooden stanchions supporting a wooden bridge (with metal trusses); my question is, when did it all burn down?

There seems to be a ladder leaning on or nailed to everything around. So far I haven't spotted a single set of good old stairs.
