FUTURE PHASES
WHAT HAPPENS IN FUTURE PHASES?
The remaining phases will create additional space and storage (because who doesn't need more storage?), complete interior and exterior finish work, and upgrade entry steps and ramps.
USABILITY
To add space, we plan to remove the rear wall and add a closet, stage, and kitchen.
Currently, WA State law limits businesses without a commercial kitchen to a maximum of four food-permitted events a year. This means the community center cannot even make popcorn for a movie night without using one of the four food permits. The addition of a commercial kitchen will allow us to hold unlimited events!
On the building's rear exterior, the space under the stage, closet, and kitchen will be converted into exterior closets to store items like cornhole boards, grills, Crosby Days Logging Festival competition equipment, and more.
Inside, the building addition will free up interior floor space and restore most of the hall's interior to its historical original state.
Note: The building addition will be on the rear of the building, respecting the original architecture of the front and sides.
SAFETY & OPERATION
The front steps will be repaired, and the rear entry steps and ramp will be rebuilt to be ADA-compliant. The electrical system will also be upgraded.
HISTORY
Interior and exterior woodwork, shingles, walls, floors, etc., will be repaired and restored. Materials and aesthetics will respect the original building architecture, using modern materials where practical to minimize maintenance costs and frequency.
We aim to raise the funds needed to supplement future grants and complete the restoration of our cherished historic schoolhouse.
