The Roseway Theatre photo was not from 1925. The Roseway at one time was revamped with a pipe
organ and showed old movies. I’m quite sure the photo is from that era in the 1970’s.
I remember, as a kid, being excited to go to a Fred Meyer’s store with roof parking! We lived on 89th and Fremomt, so it was a semi regular event. There were 3 roof parking FM, that I know of, Rose City (Rose Way), Hollywood (Sandy Blvd.), & Lombard. Rose City FM was uniquely special, because on the back side, where the roof parking acces was, was a single house, surrounded by three 30+ feet of concrete walls. I wish I had taken a picture to add for posterity!
Scott Younts, re FM rooftop parking: don’t forget SE 39th & Hawthorne! 😉
