The Hoyt Hotel was a 175-room hotel located in Portland, Oregon. Harvey Dick purchased the hotel in 1941. In 1962, he renovated the hotel and added the Barbary Coast Lounge and Roaring 20's Room, a nightclub that attracted celebrities such as Johnny Carson, Duke Ellington, and Anne Francis. Dick closed the hotel in 1972 due to declining business. ==History== The hotel was built in 1912 at the southwest corner of Hoyt and 6th Street, directly facing Portland's Union Station, situated to attract train passengers and crew. Harvey Dick, part-owner of Columbia Steel, purchased the Hoyt Hotel in 1941 primarily as housing for war-time steel workers. In 1962, he renovated the hotel and added the Barbary Coast Lounge and Roaring 20's Room, a nightclub that attracted celebrities such as Johnny Carson, Duke Ellington, and Anne Francis. Dick closed the hotel on August 2, 1972 due to declining business in recent years; the Roaring 20's Room was closed three weeks earlier.〔 The building was demolished in 1977, the same year as Harvey Dick's death. As of 2014 the block which the hotel occupied is a fenced, gravel-covered empty lot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hoyt Hotel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
