Note
'The Ernest Bloch House, located at 116 N.W. Gilbert Way in the Agate Beach district within the city limits of Newport in Lincoln County, Oregon, was the last residence where the notable teacher and composer Ernest Bloch lived and the only property Bloch ever owned. Although initially built in 1914 as a coastal retreat for the locally well known Asahel Bush family of Salem, Oregon, Bloch would later purchase the house and property in 194, remaining there until his death in 1959. While living at Agate Beach, Bloch undertook over twenty-five musical works, composing both in the main room of the house and in the upper floor of the garage-studio. In addition, Bloch used the lower floor of the garage-studio as a lapidary, and often walked a trail that wound down to Agate Beach. Today, the property remains relatively unchanged, and includes three contributing resources, including a house, a circa 1914 garage-studio, and a beach-access trail in its original location.'-- National Register This image was included in the documentation to support a nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, a program of the National Park Service.
