Chronicle Apartments -Tour

Chronicle Building

Spokane, WA 99201

Join AIA Spokane, CSI Spokane and the IIDA for a joint tour of The Chronicle Apartments on Tuesday March 21.

Members of these organizations are invited to gather post tour at the adjacent Tamarack Public House for some refreshments hosted by CSI Spokane and the IIDA.

The tour and presentation shows an example, nearly complete, in Spokane’s urban core, of preservation and restoration. The change of use supplies much needed housing to Spokane’s urban core and promotes social well-being in a community where context and sense of place are important factors.  Marian Evenson, ASID, of MMEC Architecture & Interiors will be our guide.

The presentation will cover the history of the Chronicle Building.  It was originally designed and constructed to house the afternoon newspaper and the newspaper printing presses.  We will discuss the building changes in the 1980’s that converted the building to tenant office space and discuss its new use as a mixed-use apartment building. 

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will see firsthand how adaptive reuse preserves the historic fabric of the downtown core and preserves natural resources.
• Participants will see how careful planning of building systems and features can preserve historic features that can create a sense of place.
• Participants will review the challenges of converting office space to residential in terms of life safety, egress & accessibility.
• Participants will explore the interior design strategies required to adapt and incorporate standard living space elements into an existing building and systems.
