  • Report on Designation Lpb 11/12
    REPORT ON DESIGNATION LPB 11/12 Name and Address of Property: Fashioncraft Building/Recovery Cafe 2022 Boren Avenue Legal Description: Lots 3 and 4 lying West of Fairview Avenue, Block 53 of the Plat of the Second Addition to the Town of Seattle Laid Off by the Heirs of Sarah A. Bell, according to the Plat thereof recorded in Volume 1 of Plats, Page 121, in King County, Washington. At the public meeting held on January 4, 2012 the City of Seattle's Landmarks Preservation Board voted to approve designation of the Fashioncraft Building/Recovery Café at 2022 Boren Avenue as a Seattle Landmark based upon satisfaction of the following standards for designation of SMC 25.12.350: C. It is associated in a significant way with a significant aspect of the cultural, political, or economic heritage of the community, City, state, or nation; and D. It embodies the distinctive visible characteristics of an architectural style, period, or of a method of construction; and F. Because of its prominence of spatial location, contrasts of siting, age, or scale, it is an easily identifiable visual feature of its neighborhood or the City and contributes to the distinctive quality or identity of such neighborhood or the City. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Overall Aspect The Fashioncraft Building at 2022 Boren Avenue is sited on the triangular lot, bounded by Denny Way, Fairview Avenue and Boren Avenue. The building, whose plan is basically a chamfered right triangle, is one story in height, but has a basement. The exterior is primarily clad in light brown brick with cast stone ornament, which echoes Churriguresque decoration or the Spanish Eclectic work of American architects, such as Bertram Goodhue.

In addition the Central Area‟s development was not part of a unified real state scheme with coordinated public improvements (such as the Mount Baker community). For these reasons, it has never had official boundaries and various writers describe its extent in various ways. Almost all attempts to describe the neighborhood include a core area bounded by Madison Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, 15th Avenue on the west, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (formerly Empire Way) on the east. In 1975, Nyberg and Steinbrueck identified the eastern boundary of the Central Area as 30th Avenue (more or less), and also included extensions to the north and south of the core area. The extension to the south of Jackson Street was bounded by 30th Avenue (approximately) on the east, Interstate 90 on the south, and the mid-block alley just east of Rainier Avenue South on the west. The extension to the north of Madison Street was bounded on the west by 23rd Avenue, on the east by the Washington Park Arboretum, and extended north to a line just north of East Helen Street marking the boundary between the plats known as the Madison Park Addition and the Hazelwood Addition Supplemental.1 Walt Crowley describes the neighborhood as a “sprawling residential district .

In this system, alphabetizing continues until the end of the first word. Subsequent words are considered only when other entries begin with the same word. The locators consist of the volume number, issue number, and page numbers. So, in the entry “Gamblepudding and Sons, 36(3):261–62,” 36 refers to the volume number, 3 to the issue number, and 261­62 to the page numbers. ii “‘Names Joined Together as Our Hearts Are’: The N Friendship of Samuel Hill and Reginald H.

  • You Can Make History Live!
    Washington History Day Topic Guide You can make history live! History Day is a contest for students that encourages the use of primary sources to get an up-close and personal view of an historical event. More than finding a summary in an encyclopedia or locating some pictures on the web, primary sources work to illustrate your topic from a first person point of view. And while you can find primary sources online, the real thrill of historical research comes from holding actual documents from that time in your hands! By doing your own research, asking and answering key historical questions you can become an expert on a topic and tell its story through a History Day project. The phrase “it isn’t just a day…it’s an experience” defines History Day. You become the historian! Extend the walls of the classroom into archives, college libraries and manuscripts collections, museums and other places that hold the information that you will need to interpret your topic. Learn more about your own family and community history, or some other topic that really matters to you. Use this Topic Guide to search for subjects within Pacific Northwest history that are of interest to you and locate primary source documents on those topics in nearby archives or libraries. You can browse for subjects in the following ways: 2019-20 Theme Overview: Breaking Barriers in History Explore topics that support the 2019-20 History Day Theme: Breaking Barriers in History • Browse by Subject Look at general topics in PNW History and then find specific issues you can investigate further • Browse by Time Period Find specific topics broken down by era (examples: 1800s, 1940s) • Browse by Library or Archives Use this method if you want to find out what collections are available at a specific archives or library You'll also want to make sure that any topic you select really reflects this year's theme.

Prodigious changes resulting from the Fire of 1889 paved the way for Seattle to take full advantage of the Klondike Gold Rush eight years later. This work details the impact that each of these events had on Seattle and concludes that the compound effects of two events of happenstance created the foundation for the Seattle we know today. 2 Introduction Seattle was founded in of 1852. The area showed great promise. It sat at the edge of a deep-water sheltered bay that was ideal for shipping. The pine and cypress forest that surrounded the settlement promised a strong future in timber, and the waters of Puget Sound were a rich fishery.
