208-210 NW Couch St, c1933

This photo is identified as “Alex Klonoff 2nd Hand Goods, 208-210 NW Couch St.” Mr. Klonoff seems to have run a well-stocked logger supply store from what is now the Couch Street entrance to the Spyce Gentlemen’s Club. The stairway on the left may have led to an upstairs hotel but is now the long-gone but artistically gated Couch St. Gallery.

NW 2nd Avenue, c1921

An excellent photo looking south on NW 2nd Avenue towards Couch Street. Most of these buildings still exist, and I’d be willing to bet those tracks and Belgian blocks are still under today’s pavement, too.
