Pittock Kitchen

Cabinetry in Butler's Pantry, goes all the way to the 10 foot ceiling.

Butler's Pantry Sink.  

This was of particular interest to me, because the kitchen in our current house is just a converted butler's pantry.

Refrigerator room.  This refrigerator was added in 1928.

Pittock Phase Two

Library

Well, today, we made it to the mansion in time for a tour!  I ended up taking quite a few photos, so I'm splitting this one into a few different posts.  This was really fun, and I highly recommend it.  This will represent the main floor, starting with the library.  I did not include the kitchen or breakfast room in this post, because those deserve their own post.

I should mention that they will obviously let you take photos in here, but you can't use a flash, at all, so come prepared!

Hallway between Library and Music Room.  At the end, is the original entry to the house.

Turkish Smoking Room.  There is no evidence that anyone ever smoked in here, though.

Pittock, phase one.

Surrounding woods.

We attempted to tour Pittock Mansion today, and get a little history lesson, but sadly, we got there just ten minutes before they closed for the day.  Admittedly, I just was not moving that fast today, and we had a lot to do before we could leave the house.  Ah, well... we did get some nice shots of the exteriour, and the grounds/surrounding woods.  Tomorrow, we will go back and actually tour the place, much earlier.
