Craigdarroch Castle (1890) built for uber-capitalist Robert Dunsmuir, is a major visitor destination in a very exclusive Victoria neighborhood. #craigdarrochcastlevictoriabc
City Hall (1917/c.1940) A fine, intact example of the Prairie School aesthetic applied in a public building. Who is the architect? #martinezhistory
Are you branching out Eric?
Old St Peter’s Landmark (1898) This former Gothic Revival Catholic church is now an event center with well-preserved interior details, including stained glass by the legendary Povey Brothers glass artists. Architect Otto Kleeman also designed St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in the Slabtown neighborhood in Portland. #thedalleshistory
Veterans Memorial Coliseum (1960) A landmark MCM civic stadium designed by SOM architects in Portland. #SkidmoreOwingsandMerrill
What a shame that its construction displaced much of the thriving Black community of Albina, destroying hundreds of homes, businesses and livelihoods.
Marilyn Moyer Meditation Chapel (1991) located atop a basalt outlier in NE on the grounds of the Grotto. Designed by TVA architects. I see some influence of Louis Kahn’s Salk Institute in San Diego. You? #thegrottoportland
That is where my son-in-law proposed to my step-daughter. So beautiful.
The Thomas Flippen House (1900). A spectacular turn-of- the-century house museum located several blocks south of Hwy 30 in Clatskanie. #clatskanierocks
Love the symmetry.
Do you recognize this lighthouse and surroundings? hint: Not in Oregon.
Olympic Penninsula?
Cape Disappointment, WA. Mouth of the Columbia River
Don’t know but so beautiful.
Need some clues.
The over-the-top MCM tile work in one of several bathrooms in the amazing Richard and Helen Rice House/Museum (1953). #docomomooregon
Are you in Hillsboro??
That is a cool place.
Hi Eric! Give us a call sometime when you’re here. Maybe even a massage!
Almost looks like our bathroom, but we didn’t have the jack and Jill sinks, and we still kept the mahogany cabinetry.
I didn’t realize man crush Monday was the same acronym as mid century modern. 🤦♀️
Form follows function in this Modernist masterpiece by Finnish architect Alvar Alto. ##mtangelabbeyandseminary
Miss my walks with you. Hope you’re doing well and that our paths will cross once again in 2023.
Eric- you should mention that this one of two projects by Aalto in the USA. The other one is the Baker Dormitory in Cambridge MA.
Raymond Theater (1928) designed in a Renaissance Revival style by Seattle-based architect William R Grant. #raymondwashingtonstory
