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. |

the Upper Kittitas County region by expanding space for the Roslyn
