Cannon Beach

Cannon Beach  is a scenic outpost on the Northern Oregon Coast, an artsy tourist destination in comparison to the more traditional beachside attractions of the larger city of Seaside to the north. This 2.3 mile walk will take you through the northern part of town, and of course half the walk will be on the beautiful beach itself. And part of the other half, which takes you through the streets of town, will walk along an ocean-side lane. The walk is entirely on flat terrain.

The walk begins at the corner of Hemlock Street and Sunset Avenue. Street parking is a bit easier to find in Cannon Beach on a busy day here than in the most northern part of the town. There is a public parking lot next to the city hall three short blocks north of here. There is also a public restroom on the seaward side of Hemlock Street. At Hemlock and Sunset, look for this pedestrian pathway that leads to Pacific Street, right next to the entrance to the Hallmark Resort with its corny mariner statue out front.

When reaching Pacific Street, turn right. Go one block until you see this beach access point on the left. Take it, and you will arrive at Cannon Beach's beach.

The next part of this walk consists of about a mile's journey north on the beach. To your south, on the left, is Cannon Beach's most famous landmark, Haystack Rock. At low low tide the area between the rock and the sand is accessible for excellent tidepool viewing (make sure you have decent shoes or sandals for scampering on the rocks). Also to the south, toward land, is Haystack Hill, rising above the Hallmark resort. Haystack Hill is a state park, donated by Portland magnate John Yeon, but undeveloped except for a hiking trail to the top (no views though, because of the trees).

Turn right and go north along the beach. On a summer's day you will see lots of other beachgoers (at least a lot by Oregon standards). Dip your feet in the water if you want, but it will be COLD! And be careful if getting into any ocean depth beyond your feet - the Pacific has been known for "sneaker waves" and other dangers to beachgoers.

Eventually, you will reach the mouth of Ecola Creek. It's possible to make a crossing on your feet at low tide (and low creek flow), but the walk stays on this side of the creek. Proceed up along the creek until you see this beach access point to your right. Follow the access trail up the mild slope.

At the top of the slope is this small park area, known as Whale Park, with a playful whale sculpture and a covered rest spot. Enjoy the view of the beach and Ecola Creek, and perhaps some horse riders on the beach beyond the creek. The whale sculpture is here because this is believed to be the spot where members of the Lewis and Clark expedition watched Native Americans butcher a whale carcass in 1804.

After the leaving the small park area, continue right on Hemlock Street, which is Cannon Beach's seaside commercial street. One of the first buildings you will see on the right is the Natatorium, constructed in 1924, and originally housing a heated salt water pool and bathhouse.

Continuing along Hemlock, to the right on the next block is Bruce's Candy Kitchen, at this location since 1944. It is very popular for its home-made confections. Hemlock Street contains many other eateries and tourist destinations to browse through, including many art galleries.

After a couple more blocks, also on the right, is the Coaster Theater, host to live theater events year-round. However the building housing the theater originally was occupied by the Wave Roller Rink, constructed in 1945.

Continue two blocks on Hemlock, and the street begins to curve toward the ocean and go up a short rise in terrain. On the left at Hemlock and Washington is the Cannon Beach Community Church. The church's pretty building with its bell tower were built in 1931. For over 80 years the church was affiliated with the Presbyterian Church USA, but in 2012 switched its allegiance to the Evangelical Covenant Church. The switch was made by a number of Presbyterian congregations in response to a more "progressive" national church stance on issues such as homosexuality.

At Washington Street turn right and go one block to Ocean Avenue, then turn left. This street is a "frontage road" to the beach, with homes on the left. It switches from pavement, to dirt, and eventually in one short stretch to this narrow pedestrian pathway. Enjoy the stunning views of Haystack Rock, and think enviously of the property owners with homes along this stretch of the roadway/pathway. And also note that the sand area beyond the road is undeveloped and not closed off to the public - this is the result of Oregon's landmark beach access law from the 1960's, and this Oregon Supreme Court decision that resurrected the ancient common law of custom to justify the  preservation of Oregon's dry sand beach areas from enclosure by private property owners.

After six blocks of walking along Ocean Avenue in its various permutations, turn left on Van Buren Street. Walk two long blocks along this street, crossing Hemlock Street. This pretty little house is typical of the eclectic mix of homes along the "presidential" streets in Cannon Beach.

At Spruce Street, turn right. Go two blocks to Gower Avenue, which has a center divider, and turn right. After a short distance you will see a sign for a pedestrian pathway to the left - take this route and walk along the pedestrian path through the woods for a block. Spruce Avenue then starts up again - cross Dawes Avenue and continue one block to Sunset Avenue.

At the corner of Spruce and Dawes to the right is this funky and charming A-frame dwelling. Cannon Beach has quite a mixture of beach houses.

At the corner of Sunset and Dawes to the left is the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum. Admission is free, but donations are accepted. The museum also runs a nice little gift shop. At Sunset Avenue, turn right and go one block back to Spruce Street, where the walk started.



Tanner Creek - West Linn

West Linn's city motto is "A City of Trees, Hills, and Rivers." This walk will take you past plenty of trees and hills, although the "river" in this case is the pretty puny Tanner Creek (the Willamette and Tualatin, which both border the city, will have to await another walk). What should impress most about this walk is how the city has created a system of paths and trails amidst new suburban development that keep a bit of nature nearby. The walk is 2.7 miles long, and, like the rest of West Linn, has no flat terrain (although the ups and downs aren't too strenuous).

The walk begins in Tanner Creek Park, at a small parking lot near the intersection of Parker Road and Wild Rose Drive. If the lot is full or closed you can park along Wild Rose to the north of Parker Road. Take the trail that leaves the park behind the restroom building. You will be walking along the riparian corridor of Tanner Creek.

Continue straight on the trail until it rejoins Parker Road. At the curve of Parker Road you will see the trail continue on the other side - cross the street here, watching for traffic. After crossing Parker the trail continues to the northwest, between townhomes on the left and a riparian area on the right. If you look closely into the riparian area you will see some ponds among the trees. You are walking on the former roadbed of Parker Road, before it was rerouted in the late 1990's. Instead of losing the right of way, the city showed some foresight and maintained it as a trail.

You will see several of these signs along your route. These are storm drainage detention areas, where runoff from the urban development around West Linn is detained, instead of flowing into a storm drain with all of its pollutants and then eventually to the Willamette. Small flows (the most polluted) seep into the ground, and larger flows slow down and dump some of their sediments before leaving the pond and discharging to Tanner Creek.

Continue on the pathway to the intersection of Salamo Road and Rosemont Road. At the intersection, cross the street and continue right on the pathway alongside Rosemont Road. You will pass by Oppenlander Field, which hosts youth sports activities. At the intersection of Rosemont and Wild Rose Drive, cross the street again and go right. But before you cross, you will see on your left a stakehouse of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, aka the Mormon Church. Constructed several years ago, this building was the subject of significant local controversy, as many neighbors vociferously opposed its location here. But with some design and traffic modifications (including construction of the pathway you have been walking on along Rosemont), the building was finally approved by the city. Among the other requirements was the preservation of the grove of trees along Rosemont to the right of the church, which add considerably to the site's design aesthetics.

Once you cross Rosemont, proceed downhill on Wild Rose Drive to Ridge Lane, where you will turn left. Walk down Ridge Lane, until you reach what appears to be the end of the road, but not really. Ridge Lane continues as a graveled rural cartpath. These kind of jarring roadway changes are not unusual in suburban communities that still have patches of rural development.

Walk down and then up the almost unimproved Ridge Lane, and you will eventually reach civilization again, the form of asphalt. But only for a few hundred feet. The roadway then ends again, and this time turns into a grassy area impassable by vehicles. But this is still Ridge Lane, in the form of an unimproved right of way, so continue straight ahead through the grassy area until you get to Ireland Lane. On your left right before the road ends is a narrow driveway that currently serves as the main access for these homes to Rosemont Road (unless they want to brave the graveled cartpath you earlier traversed. Good access to these houses awaits improvements to either end of Ridge Lane

At Ireland Lane, you reach asphalt again, in the form of a subdivision that is less than ten years old. Turn right on Ireland, and at its end turn right again onto Gardiner. Go a few hundred feet, and then turn to the left down this steep little street with four houses on it. At the end of the street is a pedestrian pathway.

Follow the pedestrian pathway, and you will soon cross this bridge, in the midst of another forested enclave left nestled among the large suburban homes. The pathway will empty upon another small street with six homes on it that leads down to Parker Road.

At Parker Road, cross the street, watching for traffic, and then turn left. Soon on your right you will see a pedestrian pathway between two backyards - take it. At the other end of the pathway turn left, and you are on Winkel Way. This unusual name for a street commemorates Harold Winkel (1918-2004), a longtime civic figure, graduate of West Linn High School in 1935, and city councilor in the 1950's and 1960's. A recent police report from the West Linn newspaper exemplifies the public safety concerns along this street.

Continue on Winkel Way as it makes a 90 degree turn to the right. After a few houses, you will see another pedestrian pathway on the left, consisting of a set of stairs. Take the stairs, and at the top is Sunset Avenue. Turn right.

You are now on the edge of West Linn's Sunset neighborhood. Unlike the other neighborhoods along this walk, Sunset was subdivided in the early 20th century and developed slowly over the years with a wide variety of houses. It is a vestige of the "old" West Linn, which was a Willamette River mill town, as opposed to the high-income suburb it has since been transformed into. And this view shows that, despite more recent suburban development, West Linn retains a tranquil rural atmosphere in many places within the city.

As Sunset Avenue turns left, stay with the street, and then turn right onto Reed Street. This little dead end lane has both old, rural residences and new fancy homes. At the end of the street, you will see another trail connection down the hill. Follow the trail.

This trail is steep downhill, so walk carefully. At the bottom you will be at the end of Landis Street. Cross the street and stay on the trail as it continues downhill back to Tanner Creek. Follow the trail as it turns right and continues between homes uphill on the right and the forested Tanner Creek area on the left. The trail ends at Stonegate Lane, and you will cross this pretty stone bridge to the left.

Where Stonegate Lane meets Beacon Hill Drive, turn right. After a short distance turn right again on Beacon Hill Court. After passing Sabo Lane you will see another trail going off to the left. Follow this trail, once again along Tanner Creek.

This trail is forested on both sides, with the backs of houses on either side barely visible. Eventually you will get to this pedestrian bridge over Tanner Creek, to the right. Cross the bridge, and on the other side the trail turns left and  briefly traverses an access way for several houses before continuing along the creek. Follow the trail.

Eventually you will see a large retaining wall on your right. Above you is the West Linn Skate Park, well-used by young local daredevils. When you reach Wild Rose Drive, turn right and then enter the skate park grounds to enjoy watching the performers. The skate park has been the object of some local controversy because some of the neighbors perceive youngsters having fun as a threat to their suburban peace and tranquility. On the other hand, some have suggested that young people in a town like West Linn can get bored pretty quickly, and these kinds of available recreational activities alleviate that boredom.

You are now back at the start of this walk, across the street from the Tanner Creek Park parking lot.

Northwest Portland Places of Worship

Northwest Portland is a well-trodden section of the city, with lots of attractions and lots of pedestrians. This walk looks at the neighborhood from the perspective of its religious institutions. This is not actually a "church" walk, because the route includes visits to three synagogues along with three churches, two cathedrals, two former churches (one of which is now a beer hall), three other religious sites, a site that has been the focus of religiously-themed protest, one public school that hosts a church on Sunday, and one beer hall that serves as a church on Sunday mornings!

The walk is three miles long, and is on flat terrain.

The Lucky Labrador Brew Pub provides a great starting and end point for this walk, with a chance to enjoy some fine libation before or after (or before and after) your exercise. However, the brew pub does have a tie to the theme of this walk. The Lucky Lab hosts Sunday meetings of the Evergreen Community, a non-traditional, non-denominational church. Although wine, not beer, is served at communion, parishioners have been known to have lunch with a fine Portland brew after the service.

From the Lucky Labrador, cross the street and go a little bit left, and you will see this new mid-block pedestrian path connecting Quimby and Pettygrove, built in association with the new DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital to the left. At Pettygrove, turn right and proceed to 20th Avenue, where you will turn left. Then turn right on Overton Street and left on 21st Avenue. 21st is a major thoroughfare in Northwest Portland. Between Lovejoy and Marshall Streets, on the left side, is the Parish of St. Mark.



The Parish of St. Mark is an Anglican parish, a member of a group called the Anglican Province of Christ the King. This is a breakaway group of Episcopal Parishes which left the Episcopal Church USA (of which Trinity Cathedral, later on the walk, is a member) in 1977. The reasons for the split had to do with 1) a change from and updating of the 1928 church prayer book, and 2) the approval of the ordination of women as Episcopal priests. Needless to say, the continued "progressive" movement of the Episcopal Church USA have not led this parish to think of returning to the fold, particularly recent changes regarding acceptance of homosexual priests and bishops, and same-sex blessings, by the Episcopal Church USA. As the church puts it on its website, "we do not dogmatically hold to the Traditional Anglican liturgy just because this is the way Anglicans have always worshipped, but because the Traditional Anglican liturgy buttresses and supports the clear and catholic teaching of Scripture."

St. Mark was built in the early 20th century. Unlike Episcopal Church USA parishes, it does not have red doors entering into the parish grounds. It does have this beautiful courtyard area, known as a Calvary Garden, with crucified Christ front and center. A mystery worshipper visited a service in 2006, and filed this report, generally positive.

At Lovejoy Street, turn right and proceed west. Between 21st and 23rd Avenues is the Good Samaritan Hospital complex of buildings. Good Samaritan opened its doors on this site in 1875, although the original buildings are long demolished. The hospital was founded by the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon. In 1989 it joined Emanuel Hospital in North Portland (founded by Oregon's Lutheran diocese) to form the Legacy Health System.


Continue on Lovejoy Street, crossing busy NW 23rd Avenue. The next two blocks have many beautiful old semi-mansions fronting the street, most built before World War I. At 25th Avenue, turn left. The Lovejoy Surgicenter, located at the southwest corner of 25th Avenue and Lovejoy Street, is an innocuous looking office building with an innocuous name. But this center has been the scene of vociferous protest from anti-abortion forces because it provides, among its many family planning and reproductive health services, surgical abortions. Activities by anti-abortion demonstrators at this site have led to a multi-million dollar civil judgment against the protesters and changes to state law protecting abortion clinics from overzealous protesters.



Go one block on 25th Avenue, and then turn left onto Kearney Street. On the left side of 25th (and then the left side of Kearney) is Shaarie Torah Synagogue. Shaarie Torah is a congregation founded in 1902. It's original home in South Portland was condemned for redevelopment in the 1950's, and a new synagogue built in 1960 was almost immediately condemned for construction of the I-405 freeway. This building, a stark modern structure, was opened for business in 1965. The congregation officially joined the Conservative Judaism movement in 2013. Conservative Judaism holds the middle ground theologically among the three main streams of American Jewish belief, between Orthodox and Reformed. This 2013 article provides information about the synagogue's declining membership (a problem for almost all of Portland's synagogues) and attempts to stem the tide.

Continue on Kearney Street. Between 24th and 23rd Avenues, you will come across this attractive Victorian style structure, home to the Portland chapter of the Theosophical Society. The website indicates that the Society hosts a weekly lecture series in the Spring and Fall. While Theosophy is a term that has been used for a couple of millennia, the Theosophical Society was founded in the U.S. in the late 19th century. While no particular religious beliefs are required, Theosophy requires adherence to what are called the Three Objects:
To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color.
To encourage the comparative study of religion, philosophy and science.

To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in humanity.

Continue on Kearney to 23rd Avenue, then turn right. Northwest 23rd is a very chi-chi commercial street, with numerous eateries, shops and other establishments. At the corner of 23rd and Kearney (left side of the street) is one of Portland's two Salt & Straw ice cream shops (the other is on NE Alberta). From its beginnings only 10 years ago in a food cart, Salt & Straw has become a favorite for its unique and delicious ice cream flavors, and always seems to have a line out the front of the store. Continue for three blocks on 23rd to Hoyt St. On the way you will pass another landmark Portland dessertery, Papa Haydn's, on the right.

At Hoyt Street, turn left. Two blocks later, at 21st Avenue, you will once again cross Northwest Portland's other major commercial thoroughfare. On your left is Cinema 21, the local theater, known for showing art house films. That may be changing, as "Jersey Boys" does not qualify as an art house film.



Continue across 21st Avenue on Hoyt to the corner of 20th Avenue. On the left is the William Temple House. The William Temple House was founded in 1965 by the Oregon Episcopal Diocese and the Parish of St. Mark to assist the disadvantaged and distressed in Portland with counseling and social service programs. It moved to this location in 1971. "This location" is the Mackenzie House, constructed in 1892 in the Richardson Romanesque style popular at the time, meant to be evocative of a romanticized medieval castle. It was the McKenzie family mansion until the 1920's, when it passed through different ownerships and was used for various purposes, including a speakeasy and boarding house. Then from 1946 to 1965 it served as the headquarters of Oregon's Jesuits (a Roman Catholic order of priests). William Temple was the Archbishop of Canterbury (leader of the Church of England) in the 1940's, and was known for promoting social justice in the world.

At 20th Avenue, turn right and proceed on the walkway between Couch Park to the left, and the Metropolitan Learning Center to the right. The Metropolitan Learning Center was constructed in 1913 as Couch Elementary School, and was converted into an alternative public K-12 school in 1965. It is also home on Sundays to the Agape Church of Christ. This church, which has two "branches" in Portland, was founded in 2007 with seed money from the Park Plaza Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is an openly evangelical church, with a mission to bring citizens of one of the most "unchurched" cities in the U.S. to Christianity.

The pathway between Couch Park and the Metropolitan Learning Center ends at Glisan Street. Across the street is Congregation Beth Israel. Beth Israel is a Reform Judaism Congregation, the most "liberal" of the three main branches of Judaism in the United States (but see discussion of the Havurah Shalom congregation later along the walk route). It is located in this beautiful neo-byzantine building, constructed in 1928, after the congregation's previous Moorish-style synagogue at SW 12th and Main Streets was destroyed by fire. The congregation's mission states "Beneath our dome is a spiritual home, a place of community and friendship, a place to be inspired through prayer, a place for lifelong learning, and a place where every person makes a difference." Cross Glisan Street, and go left 1/2 block to a stairway the leads up a slope into the Synagogue grounds. Walk through the open air plaza that separates the main Synagogue from ancillary buildings, and then go down the driveway to Flanders Street.

At Flanders Street, turn left and proceed down the street. The Beth Israel building is on your left. This beautiful doorway on the side of the building has an inscription in Hebrew above it, topped by impressive stained glass windows.



Turn right at NW 19th Avenue. Proceed one block to Everett Street. On your left is the Northwest Neighborhood Cultural Center, home of the Northwest Children's Theater and School. However it began life in 1911 as a Church of Christ, Scientist (Christian Science), one of the first on the West Coast. The church was founded by Mary Baker Eddy in the late 19th century, and is best known for its belief that sickness can be cured by prayer alone. This was obviously a controversial doctrine, leading to quite a few prosecutions of parents for refusing medical assistance to their children. From 270,000 adherents in 1936, church membership has declined to about 100,000 today - leading to the dissolution of many congregations including this one. With another Christian Science Church located on the South Park Blocks about one mile away, there clearly was a surplus of Christian Science churches in the central area of Portland.

Cross Everett Street. To your right on the next block is Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. The Cathedral was constructed in 1906, and is the largest Episcopal congregation in the Oregon diocese. The Episcopal church has a liturgy most like that of Roman Catholicism, and its "priests" are called "father." However, unlike the Roman church some of the priests could be called "mother," and Episcopal priests can marry (and as of June 2015 can now conduct same-sex weddings). Like the Roman Catholic organization, each Episcopal diocese has a bishop and most have a cathedral - this beautiful building was designated as the cathedral for Oregon in 1993. Note the red doors, which are found on all Episcopal churches and cathedrals in the United States. The main sanctuary is a spectacular interior space, and a beautiful courtyard is nestled between the buildings. The cathedral also boasts an excellent religious bookstore, open on Monday through Thursday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and before and after Sunday services.

Continue on 19th to Couch Street, then turn left. Between 18th and 17th Avenues is St. Mary's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The cathedral was constructed and opened in 1926. It is the cathedral for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon, designed in an architectural style described as Twentieth Century Romanesque and Byzantine. The largest Christian denomination in the nation is well known to all. The adjoining Cathedral School, built in 1961, educates students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. The Portland archdiocese had a significant part in the ongoing scandal of priest sexual abuse over the past decade, actually filing for bankruptcy in 2004 in response to lawsuits for damages from victims of the abuse.

At 17th Avenue, turn left. Proceed four blocks to Glisan Street. On the corner of 17th and Glisan is our next stop. The McMenamin's Mission Theater and Pub has been showing movies and serving beer and food since 1987. It was the first of the McMenamin's movie/pub houses. But the building is much older - it was constructed in 1912 as the Swedish Tabernacle, a Protestant evangelical church. The congregation sold the tabernacle to the International Longshore Worker's Union, which used the building as a union hall until its sale in 1987 to the McMenamin brothers.

Continue north on 17th Avenue two more blocks to Irving Street. At the corner of 17th and Irving, on the right, is City Sanctuary, which has no clear identification of its purpose on the facade - in the fact the only way to tell it is a religious facility is a brochure stand with religious tracts visible in the window near the front door. City Sanctuary is a Mission of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The Sanctuary is not really a church with a congregation, it is an outreach mission to help those in Portland with both material and spiritual assistance. The Mission states, "our daily goal is to provide a place of safety; a refuge from life’s challenges and harsh realities. We believe that as followers of Christ we are called to love one another, to not judge, evaluate or criticize others. We value individuality and the freedom to live and express that individuality." The Seventh Day Adventist Church is a product of the Second Great Awakening in early 19th century America that produced the Millerite movement. The movement originally predicted the end of the world and the second coming of Christ in 1844, but when this didn't happen, the remaining members of the group (many left disappointed) revamped their theology to be less definite on a date for the second coming. Seventh Day Adventists are unique among Protestant sects for their celebration of the Sabbath on Saturday instead of Sunday. Seventh Day Adventists are encouraged to be vegetarians, and are also expected to follow dietary laws similar to those followed by Orthodox Jews. One of the most famous Adventists (and a major source of financial support for the church) was the founder of the Kellogg Cereal Company.

At Irving Street turn left and walk two blocks to 18th Avenue. At the corner of 18th and Irving, on your left, is the First Immanuel Lutheran Church. The church has been at this location, in this building, since 1906. The church began its life in 1879 at a downtown Portland location as a Swedish Lutheran Church, but is now a member of the ELCA, the largest and "mainline" Lutheran organization in the U.S. Lutherans, like Episcopalians, have a service that is most similar to the Roman Catholic liturgy among Protestant sects, emphasizing traditional communion. The ELCA Synod in Oregon has as its head a bishop, similar in form to Roman Catholic and Episcopal bishops. The Synod was the founder of Emanuel Hospital in North Portland, and has its main offices on the hospital grounds. The congregation is a Reconciling in Christ church, and states that "we welcome people of every race, ethnic background, social status, physical limitation, sexual orientation and gender identity."

Turn right on 18th Avenue and go one block to Johnson Street, where you will turn right again. After one block on Johnson turn left on 17th Street. On your left will be the Havurah Shalom synagogue, located in two old warehouses that were tastefully renovated in 1998 for the congregation's use. Havurah Shalom is a Portland branch of Reconstructionist Judaism. This branch of the faith was founded in the mid-20th century in the United States, and has a very "progressive" approach to religious belief, asserting that traditional Jewish theology must be modified to reflect humankind's advances in philosophy, science, and history. There are over 100 reconstructionist congregations in the United States. Havurah Shalom was founded in 1978. Here is how the congregation's culture is described on its website: "Our overall community is progressive, intellectual, honest, egalitarian, and embracing of diversity. We include many interfaith families and people of various ethnic backgrounds and income groups. We are queer-friendly, and the congregation includes members in a wide range of professions."

Proceed north along 17th Avenue, past the Portland streetcar tracks on Lovejoy and Northrup Streets, all the way to Raleigh Street. Turn left on Raleigh, and then right on 18th Avenue. At the corner of 18th and Savier Street is St. Patrick Catholic Church. This beautiful building is the oldest Roman Catholic church in Portland, founded in 1889, although the interior was not completed until 1914. The church is affiliated with the St. John Society, a new (established in 2001) order of evangelical priests which began in Argentina. An interesting affiliation in light of the ascension to the Holy See of the Argentinian Pope Francis. The building itself is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Backtrack one block on 18th Avenue back to Raleigh, and then continue south one block to Quimby Street. Turn right, and you will return to your starting point at the Lucky Labrador Brew Pub.
