Crystal Ballroom's 'floating' dance floor

The Crystal Ballroom, now operated by McMenamins, is located in the historic building at this address and dates to the early 20th century. It contains a spring-loaded 'floating' dance floor installed during renovations in the ballroom's early years. The unusual floor construction is a well-documented architectural feature that regulars and performers often mention. Its quirky reputation contributes to local joking about the city's lively and sometimes eccentric music scene.
