Tangentially related, anyone in the PNW who doesn’t already know about McMenamins should check out their hotels. They mostly buy old historic buildings and remodel them as hotels/restaurants/pubs/etc. while maintaining interesting aspects of the building histories.
E.g. we have stayed at the Kennedy School in Portland where our room was a converted class room.

- geocrasher 7y agoI discovered them a couple of years ago when I went to see a movie (The Greatest Showman) at McMenamins in Centralia, WA. Wow. I twas like going back in time. Oddly, one of my favorite things was the bathroom. Original porcelain from the 1920's or so, and the urinals didn't flush. Instead, wastewater from the sink drained into the urinals and flushed them. Very efficient!
