1941? Bennes and his firm not only designed famous Portland landmarks such
as the Hollywood
Theater, but also created hotels, movie theaters, warehouses, and other
commercial buildings
in a variety of styles, throughout Oregon including Baker City, Astoria,
Ashland, La Grande,
Monmouth, Prineville, Coos Bay, and Corvallis. At the August Oregon
