Now I’m curious if those windows are closed over on the inside of the remaining building. My guess is yes. I’m pretty sure this means the remaining building (Deschutes Brewery) was built first. Or perhaps an incredible optimist added windows to the wall, hoping that someday that other building would disappear. It’s your moment in the sun, incredible optimist. You are proved right!
Haha! This post made me smile. I do wonder how that came about, though. “BTW, we’re going to cover up your windows with a new building. Nothing you can do about it.” I wonder if they compensated them for the inconvenience. Seems strange.
It could be that the building owner owned the entire block, and thus could do what he wanted.
