Weatherly Building

The Weatherly Building in Portland, Oregon is a 12-story commercial office building. It was built in 1926 by ice cream businessman George Warren Weatherly.

According to a photograph dated December 21, 1927 held by the Library of Congress as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey collection (labeled "Stevens Commercial Photographers") the building was designed by architects Sutton & Whitney and Lee Thomas, and was built by Robertson Hay & Wallace general contractors.

Background

Weatherly's creamery business started with a second-hand freezer in a small candy shop in 1890 and grew to produce an estimated 90% of Oregon ice cream sales. He was "locally credited" with inventing the ice cream cone and to have been the "east side's leading citizen in the 1920 and 1930s". The building helped develop the so-called "uptown district" and had an ice cream shop on its ground floor. An employee of Weatherly's, F. A. Bruckman, invented and patented the first successful cone manufacturing machine.

Weatherly (yacht)

Weatherly (US 17) was an unsuccessful defence candidate for the 1958 America's Cup and victorious defender in the 1962 America's Cup.

Design

Weatherly was a keel sloop designed to the 12-Metre Rule. She was designed by Philip Rhodes and built by Luders Marine Construction Company at Stamford, Connecticut for a syndicate of owners formed by Henry D. Mercer, with Cornelius S. Walsch and Arnold D. Frese. Weatherly was launched in 1958. She was built of steel frames with mahogany planking.

Career

Skippered by Arthur Knapp, Weatherly competed with Columbia, Easterner, Gleam, and Vim for the right to defend the America's cup but was outclassed in the 1958 selection trials. Columbia went on to successfully defend the Cup in 1958.

Modified by Philip Rhodes at Luders yard in 1962, Weatherly was redesigned with a shorter bow and reduced wetted surface. Weight saved in the redesign was put into the keel.

The defender selection trials pitted Weatherly against Columbia, Easterner and Nefertiti. On 25 August 1962, the NYYC selected Weatherly to defend the Cup against Australian challenger Gretel. Skippered by Emil "Bus" Mosbacher, Jr., in September 1962, Weatherly defended the Cup 4–1 against Gretel.
