The Project The main challenge in renewing Santos Place was a human one: the building was to remain open and operational during the entire project with all 42 units occupied. To mini- mize disruptions to Santos Place residents and programs, construction was planned carefully. During the course of the project, over 50 meetings were held with residents to keep them informed of upcoming inconveniences, and work was completed in sections instead of building-wide. Improve- ments included new windows, insula- tion, siding, roofing, and mechanical systems. Due to the building’s location within the Sand Point Naval Base Historic District, exterior work on siding and windows required review and approval from the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board and the Washing- ton State Historic Preservation Office in the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. New interior ventilation, individual in-unit ther- mostats, and new heat pump heat- ing systems in common areas add to the interior comfort while providing Views of Santos Place before (above) and after (below) restoration. January 2015 TRUSTNEWS 3 FRONT PAGE NEWS 2014 Best Moments in Preservation Because our 2013 Best Moments in Preservation list last year so well received, we are excited to continue the new tradition and present the 2014 Best Moments in Preservation. To keep a positive perspective, we believe it is important to recognize the progress we’ve seen in preservation across the state each year. These accomplishments are for all to share and celebrate – the local advocates who made it happen; the Washington Trust’s membership, board, and sponsors who support local preservation efforts; and all stakeholders invested in sustaining our heritage. We hope 2015 will bring continued success and growth for statewide and local preservation in Washington.

There is currently no long-term preservation plan in place, but we are hopeful that the officials from Olympic National Park and other partners will continue to work together to find an acceptable permanent location for the Chalet within the Enchanted Valley. Spokane Preservation Program Special valuation is an incentive for historic property owners that subtracts, for up to ten years, rehabilitation costs (for certain historic structures) from property tax assessments, effectively lowering property taxes. This program is administered locally by the Spokane City/County Preservation Program. For 2014, Spokane realized nearly $1.8M in special tax valuation dollars spent rehabbing historic properties in the city and county, which is a fantastic achievement! This success, and many others, helped to renew the commitment to historic preservation between the City of Spokane and Spokane County, with the county pledging The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in Spokane, before (above) and after (below), $30,000 in financial support for the a project that received special valuation tax incentives. preservation program in 2015. 4 TRUSTNEWS January 2015 REVITALIZING MAIN STREET

Morgan Middle School Rehabilitation Plan In October, the Ellensburg School Dis- trict Board of Directors unanimously voted to rehabilitate the historic 1929 and 1935 portions of Morgan Middle School, a 2011 Most Endangered Prop- erty. A bond measure seeking funds for the project will be on the ballot in 2015. This outcome would not have been possible without the concentrated effort of the group “Modernize our Morgan” (MOM) which raised $15,000 to commission an independent feasibility study demonstrating the economic value of rehabilitating Morgan Middle School.

Perhaps the most striking feature of Star Route is the effect it has on those who travel it. From its construction, automobile speed was cause for concern, as even the college president was hit on multiple occasions. An ordinance was passed to limit the speed of automobiles and horses on these newly laid roads to 12 mph in a conscious effort to slow people down. To this day, the red brick roads have this effect, but not because of the speed limit. Although cars have taken over our streets, Star Route is still primarily traversed on foot, and The brick roads centralized the young town’s activity at the Northern Pacific Depot. those who venture down its path are Image from WSU Manuscripts, Archives, & Special Collections. often caught looking down, admiring its lost craftsmanship. Unlike much of our infrastructure today, Star Route was meticulously laid by hand, brick by brick, and has maintained its effect of slowing people down because it takes us on a journey into its past. Today, the red brick roads have been a driving force in making Pullman a representative of historic preservation. Following the completion of the class, Star Route successfully became one of the first items on Pullman’s local register. In the following months, it went on to be listed in both the state and national registers as well. Currently, plans are in the works for a commemorative plaque at its ter- minus to announce the landmark to unaware passersby. What began as a class assignment became a mission that inspired students and community members alike to recognize the value in their surroundings. In the process, we learned that even the most overlooked aspects of the built environ- ment—in this case, a set of roads— deserve a second glance.

Each year, through the Valerie Sivinski Washington Preserves Fund, the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation provides grant funding to organizations across the state diligently working to preserve local historic resources. Though grant awards are modest, each year recipients report back to us, noting the important role funding plays in leveraging additional contributions, providing support, and ultimately achieving project goals. Since 1998, the Fund has awarded 115 projects totaling almost $110,000 in funding to local historic preservation organizations and advocates engaged in the important work of preserving Washington’s cultural heritage. The intent of the program is to assist preservation projects where they really happen: at the local level. Recipients of the 2015 Valerie Sivinski Washington Preserves Fund grant awards were announced December 11, 2014 at the Washington Trust’s annual Holiday Benefit held at the Stimson-Green Mansion, our landmark headquarters.
