This church was founded in 1889, and is the oldest Catholic diocese in Portland (the details of which can be found on the web site).

I drive by the church every day, though it is a little hard to see it through the freeway overpass.  Some of my first photos on Trover were of this structure.  It's really a gem, but you'll have to get here before 2pm on a weekday if you want to look inside.  That is the kind of discovery you can't hope to make at 1:57 pm and still get there in time.

Well, that will give me something to do the next time I come by.

One of the most beautiful structures in Portland.  If you wait around until sunset, you can catch it with a halo.

The room was not very clean there was hair in the bed and on floor in the bathroom. We were afraid that having them put other sheets on would have the same experience.

My room was clean and comfortable. I would recommend adding a black out curtain because shear curtain let in a lot of outside lights from parking lot at night.
