McDonald Theater Building

Just north of the Y.M.C.A building on Willamette was the still extant McDonald Theater building. This early 1920's view show a Harold Lloyd film featured at the Theater and a Drugstore next door. Farther down there seems to be a small market. Earlier this site was home to the 1886 Humphey Memorial Episcopal Methodist Church, Which stood until it was replaced in 1914 buy the brick sanctuary a block south on Willamette St. The Theater space remains as a concert venue and retail shops still occupy the rest of the space in the nicely preserved building.
