Classic style adds to restaurant aura
Simple in structure and thoroughly modest
in its sturdy, red-brick exterior, the Oregon
Electric Station does not convey much
obvious beauty at first glance.
Even upon entering the one-story, 80-year-old
building, there are no significant architectural feats
and no clever designs which would necessarily
impress or entrance the casual observer One does
not encounter a milieu of Georgian-style lamps or
a barrage of antique furniture.
Indeed, considering its quite respectable age
and the fact that its name appears on city, slate
and national historic registers, many restaurant
goers might expect a more nostalgic setting, some
thing befitting its stature in the community and more
reminiscent of old times. To its credit, however, it
does not attempt to win anyone over with an overt
display of antiquity. It is a restaurant after all, not
a museum.
Yet this is exactly why the station is so unique.
The beauty of the station comes in the discovery
