Kolby LaBree Preservationist PROJECT INFORMATION

Project Objective and Boundaries

This survey and inventory was conducted to inform the development of design review areas and resulting guidelines for the Fairhaven Neighborhood and Urban Village project. The core objective for the survey project is identification of types and integrity levels of properties within the commercial and industrial areas, and some of the adjacent residential areas.

Survey Methodology

Methodology for the project consisted of four major phases: field work, property and context research, writing and data analysis, and data entry. Kolby LaBree undertook field work surveying all properties, preparing physical descriptions, significance statements and taking contemporary digital photographs of the surveyed buildings. Kolby worked with City of Bellingham staff to enter data into the city’s historic property database. This data was then used by the city for fur- ther character area analysis, and development of design review areas. Michael Sullivan undertook background research and context statement development for the survey area.

Survey & Inventory Report | Fairhaven Neighborhood, Bellingham, WA 2 CONTEXT

The Neighborhood of Fairhaven started as Bellingham Bay’s second city, a town in its own right separate from the first settlement at Whatcom and fiercely independent until consolidation into the City of Bellingham in 1903. From both a historical and physical perspective, Fairhaven reflects a ” town within a city” character providing the City of Bellingham with a distinct sense of place for the south side.

Fairhaven’s origins and early attraction can be traced to the fresh running water of Padden Creek and a salmon camp at its mouth referred to by the Lummi people as Seeseelichem. The creek, which today cuts across Harris Avenue near 8th and empties into an estuary on Harris Bay, provided drinking water on a wind pro- tected, deep water moorage for the first Euro- pean sailors to visit Bellingham Bay in the 18th Century. East of the mouth of Padden Creek, the land rose to small hill at the southernmost edge of Bellingham Bay once known as Poe’s Point.

The basic grid street pattern ran the town’s main street, modestly named Harris, parallel to the shoreline and then configured perpendicular numbered streets beginning at Poe’s Point up from a series of docks along the waterfront. In time, the highland at Poe’s Point, which had served as the city’s cemetery since 1862, was lev- eled to created additional wharfs for shipbuilding and landings.

A railroad era land boom began in the 1880’s and continued through the early 1890’s as the town began to take on a permanent architectural form morphing from wood frame structures to refined Victorian era brick commercial buildings. While overwater industries and shipping docks lining the small bay, the hilltop intersection of 12th and Harris became the obvious center of the commercial district. Where the streetcars from Whatcom connected with the waterfront traffic from Fairhaven, a towering Queen Anne Style Hotel named for the town was completed in 1890. It seemed to cap the red brick town that rolled up the shoulder of Sehome Hill from Harris Bay and placed Fairhaven in the foreground for passengers arriving by ship to Bellingham Bay.

The development of Fairhaven was directed in large part by the Fairhaven Land Company owned by Nelson Bennett, an engineer and contractor closely connected with the transcontinental railroads that were reaching Puget Sound from the Great Lakes at the end of the 19th century. Like Tacoma, Port Townsend and the Pioneer Square area of Seattle, Fairhaven was envisioned as a future seaport metropolis where shipping trade, banking, and sophisticated travelers would be concentrated. A serious worldwide economic collapse in 1893 brought the hopes to an end and left behind a legacy of well constructed but overestimated buildings and infrastructure. The earliest authentic layer of Fairhaven’s

Buildings from this period are constructed on standard city lots 100 feet deep with frontage divided into 25 foot units. The largest of the masonry buildings were constructed on 100 x 100 footprints. The exterior walls were based on granite or sandstone foundations with unreinforced brick walls reaching up to five or six stories.

The nearly uniform height of buildings in Fairhaven’s historic district is also attributable to the construction boom and the need for adjacent owners to agree on the engineering of party walls and window access to fresh air and the remarkable view to the bay. The inte- rior structure of the buildings is uniformly Douglas Fir heavy timber post and beam with milled wood joists and floors. Lath and plaster were typically used for finished walls and ceilings. The radiator heat was from coal and wood fueled boilers and lights were gas.

Fairhaven’s waterfront proved to be its most important asset during the first decades of the 20th Century as the Pacific American Fisheries Company (PAF) emerged as a giant in the canned salmon industry. Headquartered in Fairhaven, its builders Roland Onffroy and E. B. Demming built a sprawling salmon cannery on pilings just to the west of the Padden Creek estuary, perhaps the largest in the world at the time. Along with warehouses, office buildings, a China House for workers and mechanical shops the complex consumed most of the waterfront and was later expanded to include a mas- sive shipbuilding operation at Deadman’s Point (Poe’s Point). Smaller canneries, box and can manufacturers, machinery maintenance shops and port facilities filled in the remainder of the shoreline repeating an architectural language that used low pitched gable roofs over timber framed structures with vertical planked siding and industrial scaled double hung windows.

Fairhaven and most of Bellingham’s south side settled into a somewhat self contained district with handmade, wood frame residential neighborhoods like Happy Valley and South Hill growing around the waterfront workplaces on Harris Bay. The commercial district around the Fairhaven Hotel provided localized neighborhood goods and services while downtown Bellingham grew with new institutional buildings, financial and corporate offices, theaters and entertainment. During the first half of the 20th century, Bellingham saw taller larger steel and concrete frame buildings rise in the downtown while Fairhaven continued to be identified by two, three and four story unreinforced th masonry buildings dating from the 19 century.

Survey & Inventory Report | Fairhaven Neighborhood, Bellingham, WA 4 As the automobile began to replace the streetcars and railroads, Pacific Highway was improved along Chuckanut Drive in 1913 making Fairhaven a gateway into Bellingham from the south. Instead of serving as a dead end streetcar loop on the south side, 12th Street became a state highway and a windfall for the merchants in Fairhaven. Gas stations and tourist related businesses appeared among the Victorian buildings and the main course of activity and traffic patterns shifted from east west on Harris to north south on 11th and 12th. The density of historic commercial and industrial buildings in Fairhaven was notably diminished by the mid 1930’s due to the neglect of wood frame structures, fires and replacement as PAF expanded and modern- ized their operations. The brick building at 4th and Harris marks the era, being built in 1935 to replace their main office building that was lost to fire.

Fairhaven’s shipyards and industries were active during World War Two but in the years that followed both the commercial and industrial areas began to decline. As jobs faded so too did the condition of the surrounding houses and residential areas. Refrigeration and the depletion of salmon on Pacific Coast Highway (Chuckanut Drive), ca.

Many of the warehouses and industrial buildings between Harris Avenue and the shoreline were removed without replacement as the cannery complex disappeared along with its dependant enterprises.

The loss of waterfront jobs and activity affected many storefront businesses and the age and obsolesce of the buildings eroded property values along with the civic perception of Fairhaven. In 1953 the Fairhaven Hotel was lost for good to a fire and plans began to reroute the interstate highway inland, bypassing Fairhaven entirely. The upper and basement floors of the remaining commercial buildings became vacant and the number of operating merchants fell to a new low with the only survivors being basic services like a pharmacy, grocery, newsstand and a few idle shops.

In the late 1960’s Western Washington University (then College) founded a non-traditional resident school called Fairhaven College followed two years later by Huxley College of the Environment. The campus expanded to the south toward Happy Valley and the neglected south side of Bellingham. The growing academic community that developed around the colleges at Western began to occupy and enliven the moribund commercial district of Fairhaven and stu- dents and faculty populated the working class houses and residential neighborhoods. Fairhaven became a center for the counterculture during the Vietnam War era, with coffee shops, bars, and restaurants such as Pacific Coast Highway (Chuckanut Drive), ca. 1920.

Artists and cooperatively owned businesses joined bookstores, local restaurants, bars and art house theatres in reanimating Fairhaven village.

Imus also collected architectural fragments, building details and salvaged building materials which he incorporated into the rehabilitation and in some cases elaboration of his properties. Over the next two decades Fairhaven enjoyed a rebirth as storefronts and upper floors became occupied, owners invested in structural and tenant improvements and the surrounding residential areas regained value. In 1977 the Fairhaven Historic District was for- mally listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In more contemporary times, the location of the Alaska State Ferry terminal and Amtrak passenger rail station have brought visitors and travelers to lower Harris Avenue and the Fairhaven Historic District.

Beginning with the turn of the 21st century, Fairhaven has seen an intensive period of new construction within and immediately outside the historic district. With mostly success, the new construction has contextually reused the historic forms, scale and exterior materials that define the district observing property plat lines, streetscape manners and shared fresh air and views. The density and compact character that Fairhaven’s commercial center exhibited during its most active historic period is being revisited and rivaled by the current boom.

Physical Description: The building at 208 McKenzie Avenue is located in the Fairhaven neighborhood. The structure faces north and sits midblock. It was built circa 1900 in an industrial style. The building has a rectangular plan and stands on a concrete foundation. The one-story building has a gable roof with monitor spanning the ridge, clad in rolled asphalt. The building is clad in plywood. The principal window type is wood multipane. A vinyl slider window has been added on the façade. The façade features a large garage bay, with double slider doors on a metal track. A human scale door is present in the left garage slider. The older photographs show originally the building had a smaller sized bay opening with a single slider door, paired multipane 1/1 windows and a humans sized entry on the east side of the façade. The monitor roof appears to have been altered over time, and skylights removed. Original windows have also been altered. There appear to be slight alterations to the original plan moderate alterations to the original cladding and extensive alterations to the original windows. Due to the level of alteration to the original building, this resource would be considered non-contributing to a historic district.

SURVEYOR"S NOTE: 208 McKenzie Ave. may be the same building as shown in the historic photos (building on the left). Permit records match up for all the other buildings aside from this one, and its position on the lot also leads to the conclusion that it is the remaining old building from the early days. If it is indeed the same building, the windows, the garage door and clerestory have been altered. -- Field recorded and written by Kolby LaBree on 8/20/2011

Statement of Significance: Situated on property that was originally the site of the “Industrial Iron Works” circa 1900; most of the industrial buildings in the 200 Block of McKenzie Avenue were constructed for the Bellingham Chain and Forge Company during the 1940s. The Bellingham Chain and Forge Company grew out of the Pacific American Fisheries Empire. Bellingham Chain and Forge was owned and operated by William A. Deming, adopted son of Arthur W. Deming, who was younger brother to Pacific American Fisheries founders Frank and E.B. Deming. Arthur and son William both had positions within PAF, which operated chain and forge shops in the old Iron Works buildings as early as the 1920s. Arthur Deming’s grandson, William A. Deming Junior, was also a major figure in the business, acting as secretary treasurer and then vice president in the 1950s and 1960s. The Bellingham Chain and Forge Company filed articles of incorporation in 1924, but didn’t show up on Sanborn maps or in city directory listings until 1931. The Bellingham Chain and Forge company built chain for the U.S. navy in the 1940s.

The building at 208 McKenzie is probably the oldest in the complex of industrial buildings, appearing to be the only structure retained from the original Industrial Iron Works. This building appears to be the smaller of the two original old Industrial Iron

Street Address: 208 MCKENZIE AVE Neighborhood: FAIRHAVEN UV STUDY Works buildings, seen on the left in the historic photographs. Permit records for new buildings during the 1940s match up to the rest of the Bellingham Chain and Forge buildings aside from this one, which also sits on the property in the same location as the original Industrial Iron Works building. Thus it is likely the same building with some alterations. The two original buildings constructed by the Iron works were later used by the “Coast Clay Company” and later by the Pacific American Fisheries as a Brass Foundry and Chain Forge. The two-story building visible in the historic images is no longer extant.

In the 1940s through at least the 1950s the building at 208 McKenzie was connected by a small breezeway to a much larger structure on the west side, used for chain forging, which is no longer extant. It is not clear from permit records whether the large structure may have included the original 2-story Iron Works building, or it was constructed entirely new in the 1940s. Other buildings from the 1940s Chain and Forge era are no longer on the property, including a small office building on the very west end of the property, as well as the “testing department” building which sat on the south of the property on what would be Larrabee Avenue, and property now occupied by the sewage treatment plant. These buildings may have been demolished when the treatment plant was built around 1974. -- Written by Kolby LaBree

Physical Description: The building at 212 McKenzie Avenue is located in the Fairhaven neighborhood. The structure faces north and sits midblock. It was built in 1944 in an industrial style. The building has a rectangular plan and stands on a concrete foundation. The one-story building has a gable roof clad in rolled asphalt. The building is clad in wood shingles. The principal window type is wood multipane. The façade features a centrally positioned garage bay with double doors clad in diagonal boards. A human-sized door is built in to the eastern garage door. The garage bay is flanked by large square wood multipane windows. The building appears to be connected to the slightly shorter structure on the west by a small enclosed breezeway. The east side of the building features a shed-roof “lean-to” clad in wood clapboard with double garage doors on the north. There appear to be slight alterations to the original plan and windows, and extensive alterations to the original cladding.

Statement of Significance: The building at 212 McKenzie Avenue was constructed in 1944 as a machine shop for the Bellingham Chain and Forge Company.

Few new buildings were built during the war, thus the buildings have significance in being built during this period for wartime manufacture. -- Written by Kolby LaBree

Physical Description: The building at 210 McKenzie Avenue is located in the Fairhaven neighborhood. The structure faces north and sits midblock. It was built in 1943 in an industrial style. The building has a rectangular plan and stands on a concrete foundation. The one-story building has a gable roof with two small monitors clad in rolled asphalt. The building is clad in wood shingles. The principal window type is wood multipane, with aluminum sliders framed in on several windows. The façade features a plain wood door centrally positioned with no porch or steps, flanked by large square windows. The window to the east of the door is an original wood frame multipane glass window, while the west side has been framed in to accommodate a smaller metal slider. The building appears to be connected to the slightly taller building on the east by a small enclosed breezeway. The west side of the building features another metal slider window, as well as an entry that appears to have been altered. An original multipane window is also found on the west side, and a garage bay door. Towards the south end of the west side, wood cladding is visible, indicating the shingles were a later alteration. There appear to be slight alterations to the original plan, extensive alterations to the original cladding and windows. Due to the level of alteration to the original building, this resource would be considered non-contributing to a historic district.

A second building directly behind this one, is a slightly taller but smaller square footage building with a gable roof with two monitors clad in rolled asphalt. The building is clad in wood clapboard and features a large garage bay on the west side. This structure was also built in 1943, according to permit records. -- Field recorded and written by Kolby LaBree on 8/20/2011
