Project Summary
Roslyn Public Library, 2002
The City of Roslyn and the Friends
of the Roslyn Library are working together to bring new life to the
community’s
most important public building. Badly damaged in the 2001
Nisqually
Earthquake, this anchor building of the Roslyn National Register
Historic
District is in need of major structural repair. Working with the
award-winning BOLA Architects + Planning of Seattle, the project
partners
have developed a plan to rehabilitate this historic treasure according
to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of
Historic
Properties. |

Goals

key public building, a rustic vernacular building constructed in 1902
as
a recreational and social hall for the town’s coal miners and their
families.
Enhance the Roslyn community and
the Upper Kittitas County region by expanding the Roslyn Library with
additional
public computer facilities and circulating collections, establishing
meeting
space to serve regional organizations, and creating a Community Center.
Preserve a pivotal structure in
Roslyn’s historic district and expand its uses. |
