Photo taken Feb. 2018. The Empress Apartments Hotel. The name of the hotel was for a period of time "Marquette Manor". Built in 1926 at 16th and Washington. Current Address in 2017 is 1539-1541 W Burnside. Order #165 Glaze #22M in Leonard Martins order book for Columbia Terra Cotta Co. The yelloish terra cotta and the tile work appear to be painted and I suspect added after the 1950's.
