Query: Who makes The Portland Loo?
The Portland Loo is a public toilet system built by Madden Fabrication in Portland, Oregon.[1][2] It has been adopted by multiple other municipalities. The "flagship toilet" is in Portland's Old Town Chinatown neighborhood.[3]
The loo has been praised by commentators in other cities, that haven't adopted it.[6][7]
The Loos Memorial commemorates over of Britain and the Commonwealth who fell in the battle and have no known grave. The community of Loos in British Columbia, changed its name from Crescent Island to commemorate the battle and several participants wrote of their experiences, Robert Graves described the battle and succeeding days in his war memoir "Goodbye to All That" (1929), Patrick MacGill, who served as a stretcher-bearer in the London Irish and was wounded at Loos in October 1915, described the battle in his autobiographical novel "The Great Push" (1916) and J. N. Hall related his experiences in the British Army at Loos in "Kitchener's Mob" (1916).Charles Sorley

The loo is reportedly the "brainchild" of Randy Leonard, who copyrighted the stainless steel design in 2008.[4][10]
The loos have been featured in the TV show Portlandia, and fans seek them out, for photo-ops, when they visit Portland.[16]
Loo was a French artist who was born in Toulon in 1701. He trained under his father Jean Baptiste van Loo who, under the patronage of the Prince of Carignan, worked in Rome and Turin. Loo became court painter in 1737 having replaced Jean Ranc. Loo came to the Spanish court of the House of Bourbon in 1737 where he worked till 1752. He was the premier painter to Philip V's son Fernando VI but left Spain in 1757 returning to France. Van Loo, according to critics, was also influenced by Dutch art. Loo's younger brother Charles Amédée Philippe van Loo also had a successful career and went on to paint Empress Elizabeth of Russia.
In 2012 individual units cost $60,000 (USD) each.[14] In 2017 Albuquerque bought a unit at auction for $20,000, which had cost San Diego $100,000.[15] However KRQE reported many cities had found it cost another $100,000 to bring water to their loos. The Missoulian reported that it cost $500,000 to install San Diego's two loos.[12]
The toilets which require 1.28 US gallons (4.8L) to flush are considered water conserving.[17]
When Portland commissioned the design of the loos, it retained the intellectual property rights to the design, and would receive a royalty from the manufacturer, for each loo it sold. Press reports described this arrangement as a source of funds, for the city.[10] However, in 2014, a citizen group sued the city, asserting the city had spent over $600,000 to promote the loos, without proper authorization. As a consequence the design was sold to Madden, the manufacturer.[11][4]
The Portland Loo incorporates features to enhance public acceptance such as blue lighting said to make it difficult for heroin abusers to find a vein for injection.[3][12][13]
After 1949, the new Communist government gained control of China and cut Loo off from his sources. Some of Loo's associates were arrested, and Loo's nephew, who had been his agent there, escaped to Hong Kong. In 1950, Loo was forced to liquidate much of his stock, leaving the business to his long-time colleague and successor, Frank Caro.

By mid 2014, there were 7 Portland Loos between The Fields Park and the South Park Blocks. Marketing for the restroom was then transferred from the city to Madden Fabrication.[4] By February 2016, there were 21 restrooms installed in eight U.S. states and British Columbia.[5]
Kington Loo (17 October 1930 - 21 March 2003) was an architect in Malaysia who belongs to the group who brought modernism to Southeast Asia in the wake of World War II. The firm he work for, Booty and Edwards, became a leader in the region. His mother, Lok Soh June, was an accomplished piano player and was the sixth daughter of millionaire businessman Loke Chow Kit; his father, the engineer Yuson Loo, was the grandson of prominent businessman Loke Yew. He was married and had a daughter, Ysa Loo.
When a concrete pad on which to place the loo has been prepared, in advance, complete with utility connections, one of the prefab loos can be installed in as little as two hours.[16]
Albuquerque did not recess its loo within the park where it was placed.[15] It placed the loo so its door opened directly on to a sidewalk, facing the street, a measure to make it easier for neighbours to notice suspicious activity.
In October Loos and her brother Clifford checked Emerson into a very expensive sanatorium where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Loos, who had always left the finances to Emerson, soon discovered that most of her money was no longer in joint accounts but in his own private accounts. Overworked at the studio and under stress from Emerson, she became more and more depressed. After 17 years of his nonsense she finally asked Emerson for a divorce in 1937 and he agreed. Loos promptly bought herself out of her United Artists contract, re-signed with MGM and bought a beach-front house in Santa Monica. Emerson would continue to find ways to stave off any talk of divorce plans, making finalization impossible. When Emerson was deemed well enough to leave the sanatorium, she paid for a nurse to care for him in an apartment of his own.
As an actress of Chinese descent, Loo's acting career started in 1930s. Loo mostly played small parts. Loo appeared in "The Good Earth" (1937), and was a maid in "Mr. Wong in Chinatown" (1939); her husband Richard Loo was also in the cast of both films. She began working with Central Casting during the making of "The Good Earth", when her language skills proved useful with the many Chinese-speaking extras.
Roger Fan's character is called Daric Loo. In Lin's "Annapolis", he plays a character named Loo. In Lin's "Finishing the Game", Fan plays a Bruce Lee clone named "Breeze Loo". Fan also makes a brief appearance in Lin's "Fast & Furious".
The loos can be solar powered.[14] They are 6 feet (1.8m) x 10.5 feet (3.2m), so a user can wheel in a bicycle, or baby-stroller.[15] Only the toilet itself is inside; the water spigot is on the outside, a measure designed to discourage homeless people from using the washroom to wash their clothes.[12]
At the back of the loos there is a maintenance closet, that includes a pressure hose with which maintenance workers can clean the loo by pressure spray.[18]
Richard Beers Loos (October 4, 1860 – March 6, 1944), was an American journalist and newspaper publisher. Loos was the father of Anita Loos, a famous American playwright and author who wrote, among other titles, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". Loos most often used the shortened form of his name for official work: R. Beers Loos. Anita Loos was born to Richard Beers Loos and Minnie Ellen Smith while the family lived near Sisson, California (today Mount Shasta). At that time, Loos owned a local newspaper called the "Sisson Mascot".
On October 10, 2018, the city installed a pair of Portland loo public toilets. The loos are especially designed to remain open 24x7. Slats allow a potential user to see if the toilet is already occupied, and if more than one individual is inside -- considered a safety feature. They are large enough that a user can wheel in a child's stroller, shopping buggy, bicycle, or dog. The loos installed in Washington are equipped with both a table for changing babies, and a bin for addicts to safely dispose of used needles.
In mid 2016, the San Diego toilet was called "a magnet for crime and homelessness".[8] Defenders of homeless rights called criticism of the Portland Loo a focus point for "systematic denial of humanity to homeless people".[9]
