Peter Morton Abbey was one of Newport's pioneer settlers in 1867. He built the Bayview Hotel on the waterfront in 1871 and moved it back against the hill in 1911. The hotel was torn down in 1935. The Abbey Hotel, built in 1911 at 704 SW Bay Boulevard, operated until it burned in 1964. It was a three-story wooden building with 45 rooms. George Bahr, the owner in 1964, replaced the hotel with a restaurant-bar called "The Abbey," which was subsequently torn down for a parking lot in 1986.
Obituary:
"Early Hotelman Dead"
Peter M. Abbey, pioneer hotel man of Newport, died here today. He was born in Cleveland, O., in 1837. He was married in Canada to Derina [sic]Reynolds. His widow has been an invalid for two years, and it is feared that she will soon follow her husband.
The Abbeys came to the Yaquina country in 1866 and engaged in the general merchandise business in Newport. In 1871 Mr. Abbey sold out and erected the old Bayview house and had been in the hotel business ever since.
Five years ago the old building was moved away and an up-to-date two-story cement hotel was erected in its place.
Ten years ago Mr. Abbey was stricken with paralysis and a later stroke rendered him speechless. Two sons, Edward J. Abbey and Morton H. Abbey, also survive him. -The Oregonian, July 30, 1916, p 7
