Let's go there some day, Zeta! :) I photographed these tiles when I was at the Riverside Mission Inn two weeks ago: The Mission Inn is one of the great examples of early California theme architecture, and they always had a Chinese themed room: This is a little off topic, but I remember that in the 50s, when every hotel had to have one, they supposedly had a Polynesian restaurant, in there or some other room, called the Luau Room (or something like that). Does anyone know anything about that? Any paper ephemera out there?
