About This File
Finally a building fit for an Archbishop, an architect, a life of crime, or for consuming Middle Eastern Cuisene! The Bishop's House dates from 1879,
when the Roman Catholic Archdiocese moved downriver to up-and-coming Portland from historic Oregon City. Despite being right next to a cathedral at the time, the near-waterfront neighborhood was begining to become more seedy as Portland expanded west. Archbishop Wialliam Goss tollerated this for only a year before moving out.
Next to move in were Chinese gangs, who from time to time, ran a tong spot in the Bishop's House. It is said that they managed to set up a wire tap into the nearby police HQ building,
and were responsible for foiling many vice-related arrests in the late 1890's.
Architects were always in thrall with this building, and between 1911 and 1915, the Portland Artlier (kind-of analogous to today's Portland chapter of the AIA), set up a studio and trained apprentences.
AE Doyle, who would eventually make a huge architectural impact on the city taught here.
In 1965, the building went through a much0-needed rehabilitation, and in the next decade entered the latest chapter in its colorful life: As a Lebanese restruant.
Extra BATer's commentary: This building marks a big step, as it is my first working attempt at custom qureies and custom menu icon programming. I hope everyone enjoys them.
