Walla Walla VI--Dinner At Whitehouse Crawford


I had been dying to try the Whitehouse Crawford Restaurant in downtown Walla Walla.  We finally went for the first time last Sunday.
 It is a dinner only upscale restaurant in a restored former sawmill.   Whitehouse Crawford was tied to a lumber yard across the street and the Tum A Lum Lumber yard on West Main.  The Walla Walla based company once had 50 lumber yards across the Northwest, including Bellevue and Renton.  Today, there are three remaining yards, all in Oregon.
Our next door neighbors on Palouse Street were part of the Crawford family, heirs to the founders of the company.
Back to the restaurant, Deb and I joined Marjie and Rick, along with my brother and his wife and had a wonderful dinner.

The State Hotel Walla Walla

The State Hotel was across from my dad's shop on 4th and Rose.  It turned into a low income dwelling for a while and then was torn down.  Few tears were shed after the building was brought down, but this picture from the Bygone Walla Walla blog brings back memories.
