2017 Old House Workshop Series: The Walls Around Us
February 14-28, 2017 |
The walls around us can reveal much about the history and geography of a place if you know how to look at them. Spokane Preservation Advocates presents three informative workshops on the history, preservation, and restoration of walls as we move from the landscape, to the exterior, and finally to the interior of your home or building. Join us on three consecutive Tuesdays in February at the newly-renovated Finch Elementary School, 3717 N Milton Street, near Audubon Park.
Cost is $20 per workshop or all three for $50
