[edit] Details
The Georgian style building was designed by Carl L. Linde, and was also once known as the Sovereign Apartments.[3] On two sides of the building are eight-story tall murals painted by Richard Haas.[4] Painted in 1989, one shows the Lewis & Clark Expedition, while the mural on the south side of the structure depicts the pioneer period in Oregon’s history.[4] In 1938, the hotel was converted into apartments.[5] In 1982, the Oregon Historical Society purchased the building to expand the Oregon History Center.[6]
