The Italianate style, cast-iron facade building has the name "WALDO" above the main entrance (see gallery photo). It was named after Judge John B. Waldo, who served on the Oregon Supreme Court. Underground tunnels connect the building to the waterfront, although all have been blocked off for safety. Note the plaque near the restaurant's entrance.Instructions for logging waymark: A photograph is required that shows you (or your GPS receiver, if you are waymarking solo) and the place or the brass plaque.
