The iron cooled. The lights stayed on.
A 1912 iron foundry on SE 3rd, rebuilt as a 28-room hotel. Brick that still holds heat after dark, a wood-fired kitchen five nights a week, and a desk that answers at 3 a.m.

On foot from the desk
Central Eastside, timed honestly
831 SE 3rd sits between Belmont and Morrison, one block off the river. These are walking times from the brass foundry doors, not from a pin dropped in the middle of the district.
South on 3rd, then Water. The submarine is the landmark. Orange Line at OMSI/SE Water is eight minutes if you would rather ride.
North to the east end. Heart Coffee on East Burnside is twelve minutes; go before nine if you want a stool.
South past Hawthorne. Kachka on SE 11th is closer to eighteen. Ask the desk which night the pelmeni run late.
West to the river path. Dawn is quieter than the jogging apps suggest. The Steel Bridge walkway is the long way downtown.
