I found these photos online with a newspaper research venue. I do not want to subscribe at the moment (have done so in the past) so when next in Corvallis I will scan it at the University Valley Library where the GT archives are held. There is text with the article but it is somewhat repetitive and jumbled in the preview so I will not add it. I know I have seen this image before but can't find it in my files. (October 1 1960) 

Plaza Christmas dining room (left) and kitchen (right)

Again an uncropped shot of the rear of the building taken at night (August 1981)

Full version of Plaza at night in August of 1981. I was trying out my new Ricoh 35mm camera.

Executive Plaza breakfast consisted of fig newtons, peanut butter sandwiches, and milk. Life of a 21-year-old. (1981) 

Taking a break-- my management of the Plaza was 24-7 (I had no assistant manager and the owner lived in Portland). The fireplace was a lifesaver for this desert rat and helped me cope with the dark gray winters. (1982)

Taking a break from managing the Executive Plaza in about 1981. My kitchen (office) desk (1042 NW Fillmore).
