Old House Workshops Lecture Series

February 6-20, 2018

Buildings grow old and forgotten ...neighborhoods and communities change...How can someone who loves historic buildings save them from neglect or demolition? Adaptive reuse - the process of reusing an old site or building for a purpose other than which it was built or designed for - can be the answer. Join Spokane Preservation Advocates for three informative workshops on how local homeowners, developers, and business owners have taken on the adventure of transforming barns, schools, and other historic structures, giving them a new life and purpose.

Cost is $20 per workshop or all three for $50. To purchase tickets on line click HERE. (https://spokanepreservation.z2systems.com/np/clients/spokanepreservation/eventRegistration.jsp?event=3&)

What if I...Bought a Barn?
February 6, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, tour at 5:30
Many old barns have great bones - large timber frames with open spaces and high ceilings. What does it take to turn an agricultural building into a home, an art studio, or an event space? After an overview of what adaptive reuse is, hear the stories of the remodeling of three historic barns in the Spokane area. A tour of the newly remodeled Woman's Club will take place at 5:30 pm.

What if I...Bought a School?
February 13, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, vendors at 5:30
School buildings often loom large in many childhood memories, even if they've been decommissioned or abandoned. Come hear how former schools of all shapes and sizes have been saved by transforming them into homes or businesses. Vendors available to visit starting at 5:30 pm.

What if I...Transform a Historic Building?
February 20, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, vendors at 5:30
A local restaurant or hotel in a historic building creates a unique atmosphere that many guests admire. Come learn about the potential legal and zoning issues of conversions from residential to business and vice versa, and how these business owners and contractors undertook adaptive reuse projects for the hospitality industry. Vendors available to visit starting at 5:30 pm.
