You will find McMenamins all over the Pacific Northwest have started here in NW Portland - and they all have very eclectic stories behind their restaurants - historic theaters, old elementary schools, the poor farm and this one was a funeral home converted into spaces for family and community to gather. They are quintessential Portland!
