Pioneer Courthouse,\"Pioneer<\/a><\/p>\n

which is across the street from\u00a0Pioneer Courthouse Square. Apparently the grand hotel that was there was torn down in the ’50s to be replaced by a parking lot. In the ’70s, the block was reclaimed as a public space. The gate is apparently from the original hotel.\"Pioneer<\/a><\/p>\n
