Sometime in the 1960s there was a fire ³ ³ at the house which could never be explained. People living next door to ³ ³ the house purchased it and restored it. Being experts in architectural ³ ³ restoration helped a great deal. Once the house was completely renovated ³ ³ they leased it out to two sisters; who turned the downstairs portion into ³ ³ a restaurant. The restaurant is called Victorian Facades. ³ ³ The ghost is believed to be that of a woman named Lydia who once lived up- ³ ³ stairs in the house. She never married and lived there through a great ³ ³ number of personal tragedies, including the death of her only sister. ³ ³ A great many people have seen the ghostly lady. Even more have seen things³ ³ fly through the air by unseen hands. There have been some investigations ³ ³ but nothing can be found to prove the psychic impressions. Every psychic ³ ³ who has entered the place has the feeling that someone was murdered. No ³ ³ evidence can be found to this. The restaurant is located at: 1244 South- ³ ³ east Belmont Street, Portland, Oregon. ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
