Then/Now(ish): The Empire Building in Pendleton, built in the early 1900s, described as Italianate and listed on the US National Register of Historic Places.

Flashback Friday (wait, it's always flashback something around here).
PSU Food Carts, 2014. (Remember that filter?!) #pdxfoodtrucks #pdxfoodcarts
The American Brush Company building on 116 N.E. Sixth Ave. Built: 1909. Mural still going strong. It's a solid piece of architecture. Love those windows. #pdxarchitecture #portlandhistory #brick
The Marco Polo Motel on N. Interstate featured “individual room temperature control, free local telephones, tub and shower baths,” and 5 minutes to downtown. Still hanging in there (under a different name, natch). Stumbling distance to the Alibi!
