| King Street Station: Yesterday Today Tomorrow |
An SAF Design in Depth Program Co-sponsored by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) & Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects (ZGF)
When: Thursday, March 25, 4 - 7:00pm
Where: King Street Station, 301 S. Jackson St. and Klondike Gold Rush Museum, 319 Second Avenue S
Advance registration is required: $20 advanced; $25 beginning March 18. Registration is limited.
NOTES: This is a construction site and hard-soled shoes that cover your feet are required. You will not be allowed into King Street Station without proper shoes. Refreshments will be served at the Museum.
 Come see the work underway to restore the building's historic character and grandeur. Then walk over to the Klondike Gold Rush Museum to hear about plans and hopes for King Street Station's future. The building's tour will include an opportunity to go up into the clock tower. Trevina Wang, SDOT Program Manager for the King Street Station, and Tim Williams, Associate Partner with ZGF, will present the program.
King Street Station's completion in 1906 marked an important era of growth for the city that helped establish Seattle as the primary shipping port of the Pacific Northwest. Its architects, Reed & Stem, designed many train stations throughout the United States, including Grand Central Station in New York City.
The interior spaces were altered in the 1950s and 60s, resulting in the removal of the decorative plaster wall panels and addition of a suspended acoustic tile ceiling. Restoration is underway to return the station to its original appearance. | |
