For several
years, The Nortonia
was called The Bowers.
In 1911 H.C. Bowers became the President and Manager, by
1914, Bowers moved on to The Multnomah Hotel and the name
was changed back to The Nortonia.
In 1966 the Hotel was remodeled and named The Mark
Spencer Hotel.
The Nortonia Hotel
opened it's doors in 1907, it
was "home away from home" to visiting artists. Modern
day Theatric productions continue the tradition.
This view
shows the original entrance to The Mark
Spencer/Nortonia. The
upper doorway to the left led into the lobby. The
lower doorway to the right led into The Grill Room.
Some years later the doors were removed, the lobby relocated
and the area became an open air courtyard.
