Ever wonder what it looks like inside of a building that is being demolished? Our contractors at sent us photos showing what the inside of the Plaza looks like currently. The Plaza first opened in as the Willamette View Hospital in 1959, with a wing added in the following year, and a third floor constructed in 1962. The hospital building had several names throughout the years: Willamette View Hospital, Willamette Methodist Hospital, Willamette Methodist Convalescent Hospital, and Willamette View Convalescent Center. On July 19, 2002, the building was repurposed and renamed the Plaza.
