Any questions for Marc Nowak or a historian?
Marc Nowak is the general manager of Governor Hotel in Portland. They also have a resident historian who can answer questions for us. These pictures of the hotel were taken in 1909 and 2009:
The Governor is adjourned with rustic sconces, chandeliers and original Northwest artwork from the early 1900’s. Marc would be thrilled to talk to you about the early days of the hotel and the intricate steps that have been taken to preserve its unique history through several multi-million dollar renovations.
So if there's anything you'd like to ask, put it in the comments and I'll pass it along.
Also, you only have one day left to submit questions for Park West.

We are looking for a web site that will show the lowest airfare to Europe without having to enter a date. We are retired and can travel anytime of the year.
Thanks,

I think the most fascinating part about these renovations is the stories you discover and the stories you create. I would love to read what new tidbits of hotel history came to light during the renovation. I'd also love to learn about the biggest challenge, oddest thing they had to replace or that one time with the thing in the place...y'know. ;-)
Thanks Mark, for taking some time to share your journey!
