Come check out our historic office space and have a bite to eat! We’re hosting a barbeque at our as part of Historic Places Days and the annual 12^th Street block party event.

Our office space was once known as the Hillhurst Cottage School and was built in 1910. The building is the earliest extant purpose-built school in Hillhurst Sunnyside. This two-story former school was the first of its design to be built in the city, and it’s one of only two remaining cottage schools of the approximately seventeen that were built in the city. Poor economic times and high enrollment kept this school open until 1955; there are many people who still remember attending.

This event is free, but donations are welcome.

We’ll kick things off around 3 p.m. We look forward to seeing you!
