Adjacent to the Brew House in the Rainier Brewery is the old Malt House. The details amaze me; the fluted brick beneath the aging, metal sign, the sandstone-colored stone header above the upper window, the arched-brick pattern above the lower window. For a commercial building, which was internally designed to brew beer, it is amazing such energy was put into the outside details. Not something you would see today.

Brewery Pt. 2
Looking north, a large section of the old Rainier Brewery. Quite a large building. The other image is the southern most section of the brewery, which I would imagine, was damaged in the 2001 quake. The wall just looks like it was torn off. It is being held up by very large steel supports on the back side.
Rainier Brewery
The original Brew House, Rainier Brewery in Georgetown, Seattle.
Two Doors
The carriage door on the left is cool. Very few of those doors in use. There is something about the ‘Subway’ pattern in the brick that …….does something. Every time I see that pattern in brick or tile I find it visually pleasing.
Sign
Sign designating this site as the location of the original Rainier Brewery.

Watching
A lone heron keeping an eye on the river. On these rare clear days there is a great reflective quality/interaction with the river.

What Genre?
If not graffiti, then maybe a mural? Or? Spotted on a building on Alberta St.
Rexall Drugstore
Painting of the old Rexall Drugstore on the corner of Alberta St and 24th NE in Portland. The space is now occupied by the Star E Rose Cafe on the first floor and I think apartments on the 2nd floor.
Mike’s Old House
I have posted photos of this house in NE Portland, not knowing the owner and much about the history. This past week I met Mike, the owner by inheritance, of this old home. Mike has been doing home renovations in Portland for the past 3 decades. Rather than tear this house down, for somewhat sentimental reasons, Mike decided he was going to refurbish. This refurb will be a major project that will take some time. The ‘bones’ of the home are relatively good, but the roof, porches, electrical and plumbing are shot. I hope to be able to document as much of this renovation as possible. Mike knows I have a photoblog and that I have posted a couple of images of the home, pre-renovation.
Stay tuned for updates in 2011 and perhaps beyond.
