Out-of-Town Tour: Repurposing Historic Buildings in King County
August 16, 2014 |
Join us on a day tour of nearby cities Bothell, Kenmore, and Kirkland to visit historic properties that have been restored, adapted to other uses, are in the process of adaptive reuse, or are awaiting a creative development team to accomplish that work. The day begins in Bothell with a tour of Anderson School, the latest McMenamin’s restaurant and hotel project, and the 106-year-old North Creek Schoolhouse in Centennial Park now being restored for future use as a public meeting space/interpretive center. Enjoy lunch at Preservation Kitchen in a charming house steps away from busy Bothell Way. At St. Edward State Park, we'll visit St. Edward Seminary, the beautiful Italianate 1931 building that closed in 1976 and was sold to the State of Washington in 1977. Various schemes to preserve and reuse the facility have failed to come to pass. Continuing along Juanita Way to Kirkland’s historic core, an expert from the Kirkland Historical Society will lead a walking tour that includes historic buildings preserved by the city’s preservation ordinance, including the Church
of Christ, Scientist, which was moved to its present site and is now Heritage
Hall.
