Although he is best known for his black and white images, Roger A. Hart also experimented with color photography. This scenic image of Yaquina Bay Bridge was taken in 1945 prior to much of the development at the southern end of the bridge. Looking carefully, there appears to be bridge maintenance happening along the underside of the center arch.

This 1949 photograph by Roger A. Hart shows Yaquina Bay Bridge. The view of South Beach looks sparse as Rogue Brewery and Hatfield Marine Science Center are located there today.

From the LCHS Roger A. Hart Collection, a photograph of two men watching seagulls feed near a dock in Waldport in 1941. The image was titled “Waldport (Alsea Bay) Fishing 1941” in Hart’s notes.

In June we will be showcasing the work of Robert A. Hart, a local figure renowned for his ability to capture daily life. Hart was born in Gresham, Oregon in 1906. In 1937 he moved to Newport with his wife Dorothea where they ran a Napa Auto Parts dealership.
