Washington Hall Fate Still In Limbo
December 8th, 2007 @ 2:33 am by Cliffe | Sorted Historic Buildings
Just received an update from Christine Palmer of Historic Seattle regarding the fate of Central District’s historic Washington Hall (see here and here for previous Vintage Seattle content). Looks as though it still isn’t out of the woods just yet, but getting closer. Here is the word:
Historic Seattle has Washington Hall under contract and a 60 day feasibility period. We are working with the Central District Forum for Arts and Ideas to plan for a community arts center with offices for several arts groups. The hall and first floor lodge room would be available to the Forum, other building tenants, and for rent to outside arts, community, and private groups. As an art facility, projected income is slight and the success of the project will depend on the ability to raise approximately $7 million from government, private foundations, corporations, and individual donors. Historic Seattle will make a decision later in December 2007 on whether to go ahead with the purchase of the building.

I’m crossing my fingers, Cliffe.

Good thing you’ve got fingers, because crossing your hooves would be impossible.
