The historical plaque is what stood out for me when I visited Pendleton. It was getting late and it wasn’t even 5:00 PM. The days are getting shorter.
This is a well maintained building, which also has a nice historical picture of the building in the lobby. There are two medallions on the wall in the lobby.
