Updates on Alki Homestead indicate ‘This Place STILL Matters’
Southwest Seattle Historical Society * Historic Seattle
4Culture * Washington Trust for Historic PreservationPRESS RELEASE
11 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 16, 2011
Southwest Seattle Historical Society Log House Museum
3003 61st Ave. S.W., Seattle, WA 98116Updates on Alki Homestead indicate ‘This Place STILL Matters’
WEST SEATTLE, Wash. – A coalition of four organizations today announced several updates regarding the potential for protection, preservation and restoration of a beloved City of Seattle landmark, the 107-year-old log structure known as Fir Lodge and the Alki Homestead Restaurant.
The four organizations are the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, Historic Seattle, 4Culture and the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, all of which have heritage preservation and advocacy as a key component of their missions.
The organizations held a press conference on Jan. 16, 2011, the second anniversary of a fire that damaged a portion of the Alki Homestead. The press conference took place at the Log House Museum of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, the organization that nominated the Alki Homestead for landmark status that was conferred on the building in 1996 by the Seattle City Council.
Here are the updates, which the coalition is optimistic will lead to the protection, preservation and restoration of the Alki Homestead:
- With the aim of purchasing the Alki Homestead, Historic Seattle, working with private investors, has had significant discussions with the building owner since last summer. In addition, other investigations leave Historic Seattle confident that the Alki Homestead building can be preserved with integrity and practicality. Historic Seattle and its investors remain interested in working with the owner to protect, preserve and restore the Alki Homestead.
- The Southwest Seattle Historical Society, 4Culture and the Washington Trust filed on Friday a request with the Seattle Department of Planning and Development seeking the city’s help in protecting the building from damage. We trust that this step will maximize the potential for its preservation and restoration, particularly during inclement weather.
- The coalition released a color poster today that depicts the inspiring rally on July 4, 2010, when 200 public officials, civic leaders and others stood in front of the Alki Homestead to proclaim that “This Place Matters.” Immediately after today’s press conference, the coalition began posting this poster in area storefronts and elsewhere to spread the word about public support for this community and citywide treasure.
For more information on advocacy to protect, preserve and restore the Alki Homestead, please contact the Southwest Seattle Historical Society Log House Museum at 206-938-5293. For press inquiries, call Clay Eals, board member, at 206-484-8008 (cell), or e-mail him at ceals@comcast.net.

Vote NOW for historic preservation for the Duwamish Peninsula!
Vote before Wednesday, September 15th to award the Southwest Seattle Historical Society $25,000 for preservation education and advocacy
on the Duwamish Peninsula.
The Southwest Seattle Historical Society (SWSHS) is competing with other not-for-profits nationwide in the National Trust for Historic Preservation “This Place Matters” photo contest. The grant supports communities across the country who post a photo and a story of one place in their community that matters – then rally online supporters around that place for the chance to win $25,000. We need your vote! The SWSHS is the only organization competing for this award in Washington State and one of only a few on the West Coast. To vote, visit the This Place Matters webpage (cut and paste the following) http://my.preservationnation.org/site/PageNavigator/TPM_CC_Map
and click on the Washington blue dot, and "View Web Page" then you are free to register to vote.
On July 4th, 2010, the people of Seattle stood up for a century-old West Seattle city landmark. Originally called the Fir Lodge, the 106-year-old log structure has been known for decades as the Alki Homestead restaurant. The building was damaged by a January 2009 fire and since then has sat vacant. The SWSHS operates the Log House Museum, which was formerly the carriage house for the Fir Lodge estate, and now sits a half-block away. The society’s mission includes advocacy for the preservation of historic sites. Any awards received from the National Trust for Historic Preservation would fund landmark advocacy and preservation education on the Duwamish Peninsula.

This Place Matters - Homestead Fir Lodge
July 4th, 2010... close to 200 folks showed their support for the 1904 former Fir Lodge... now called the Homestead Restaurant. The street was closed off, Paul Dorpat and Jean Sherrard stood on the second floor of the apartment across the street and took a myriad of photographs to document the moment. The National Trust for Historic Preservation (http://www.preservationnation.org/) developed this community-friendly method of getting involved in your history. Go ahead and visit the site and see the images sent in of all the locations around the country that have meaning within their community. Feel free to print out your own "This Place Matters" sign, stand proudly in front of your fave spot wherever that may be... and then send it off to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
