The Ideal Theater (1912) Emil Schacht -architect. Charming neighborhood venue for vaudeville and silent films in the early years. No movies here since the 1950s, but the many times re-purposed example of Early Modern architecture still stands and adds an elegant touch to the neighborhood.

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

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. 🤦♀️

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.
