From Windows to Doors, Foundations to a Wagon Road – 4Culture’s Landmark Rehabilitation Program Awards Twelve County-wide Projects Preservation Funding
In honor of Preservation Month, Preservation 4Culture is pleased to announce Landmark Rehabilitation Program (LRP) support for twelve preservation projects, providing $96,802 in financial assistance for local property owners. One of 4Culture’s core programs, the LRP supports the preservation of designated King County landmarks by providing funds for construction-related planning and design, architectural and engineering expenses, and materials and labor. These awards leverage thousands of dollars of additional private investment all around King County.
This year’s recipients include the North Bend Theatre, an excellent example of the 1940s Art Moderne style in a small town setting. The LRP award of $7,000 will fund a comprehensive preservation plan for the building, and temporary roof and wall repairs.
Another LRP award will fund critical foundation work on the well-loved Hardware Store Restaurant on Vashon Island.
