From Benson Tech, cross the 12th Avenue viaduct toward Holladay Park, but bear right. There’s a hole in the ground where Lloyd had intended to build a luxury hotel with a direct connection to a train station in the Gulch.

Bob Zimmerman, founding conductor of Portland Symphonic Choir in 1945, was inspired by the above excavation to turn it into an amphitheater for summer productions of light opera, which became the Holladay Bowl. The bleachers and revolving stage were built in 1951 with singers’ labor plus a major loan backed by the Choir’s board members. They did 4 productions for each of 4 summers, before calling it quits, June and July evenings being too chilly to attract full houses.

The Bowl is now under the Lloyd Cinemas parking lot.

I ‘ve wondered about that large white building across from Benson myself. It’s not a home. There are warehouse doors on the front. I think it was torn down when they widened Sullivans gulch for the freeway. It’s gone in later pictures. Anyone know what it was?

Rolf is right, the cars on Sandy are the exact same in the foreground of both.

One additional note: the last comment for the 1938 picture indicated the picture date of 1938 maybe wrong since a building in the picture wasn’t build until 1941.

This picture looked familiar so I searched the website and found what appears to be the same picture taken in 1938. The 1938 picture is cropped and slighted magnified. Please correct me if I’m wrong. On another note I went to Benson so these are great pictures from the past.

That’s quite a house across from Benson where the Car lot is now. And what’s the building across the gulch and to the left?

Almost to my building on the east. Drat. I still like this photo a whole lot. One of these days an aerial will show where I live, I just know it!
