Excellent location, just a couple of blocks to everything historic downtown Walla Walla has to offer.
THE NAME …
We chose the name “Liberty” Bungalow because, as kids growing up in Walla Walla, we loved going to movies at the Liberty Theater on Main Street. The theater closed in August of 1985 (“Fright Night” was the last movie to play there, if you want a local factoid that is impossible to find online or in newspapers). Later after its official closing, it was lovingly restored - seating and sloped floor were covered, but not removed! - and became part of Macy’s department store. The building itself is also still intact – the lobby is nearly unchanged, with it’s beautiful staircase that leads up to a landing that hosts a display case detailing the Liberty Theater’s history. The building’s distinct architecture almost as glorious as in its heyday, sans the neon sign and marquee. Our vacation rental is only about 3 blocks from this historic landmark which is so dear to us, so we took the opportunity to pay homage to the Liberty Theater by using its name, as well as incorporating a general movie theme throughout the house. We even included a Liberty Theater DVD section featuring movies we saw at that theater!
