~2pm, I walked up to Pittock Mansion with my out-of-town guest. It's a trek to the top of the hill. Probably >5 miles RT from downtown. Mostly on road lined with nice houses. Saw some trilliums in Washington Park along the trail. Arrived 30 minutes before they close the building at 4pm (still on winter schedule).
Nice building (built in 1914). Some furniture of 20-30s (re-furnished later). I like the rooms that have view of the garden and beyond, and many do. Bedrooms on top floor, saloon on the main floor, and architecture design drawings (and bathroom) on the lower floor.
Many modern amenities, electrically wired, with heating, intercom. Some strange utensils and an S-shape double sink, a bizarre shower stall with its own door, and side jets (to spray your lower back), and a floor level jet (to test water with your foot). 
Other showers have cylindrical rod for shower curtains. Wardrobes have shallow but wide drawers.
After the house, we headed to the lookout, where most folks were. Good day for it. Great view of the city below and Mt. Hood ahead. Lots of people crowded around 2 picnic tables taking photos.Back down the hill on foot. Headed to Deschutes' to compensate the calories lost.
