Campbell Building landmark nomination to be voted on Feb. 15 by Landmarks Board
Thu, 01/26/2017
The Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board hearing and vote on the Southwest Seattle Historical Society nomination of the Campbell Building (1918) in the West Seattle Junction for landmark status has been scheduled for the board's meeting at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2017, at Seattle City Hall.
This is the same meeting that the board has scheduled its hearing and vote on designation of the Hamm Building for landmark status. (The board voted unanimously in favor of the SWSHS landmark nomination for Hamm at its meeting Jan. 4, 2017.)
At the Feb. 15 meeting, the Hamm designation hearing and vote likely will take place prior to the Campbell nomination hearing and vote.
In anticipation of the Feb. 15 meeting, SWSHS encourages supporters of landmarking the Hamm and Campbell buildings to take one or both of the following steps:
(1) Write messages or letters in support of Hamm designation and Campbell nomination to the board via e-mail to Erin Doherty, historic preservation coordinator for the board, or via a letter mailed to the board at PO Box 94649, Seattle, WA 98124-4649.
(2) Plan to attend the Hamm and Campbell hearings, which likely will begin in the late afternoon and could extend to early evening. About a week prior to the meeting, when the complete agenda is released, they will announce more specific times for each hearing as well as a plan to help guide people to the meeting from the West Seattle Junction transit center.
More details will follow soon. For more information on the SWSHS landmark campaign, including the complete Hamm and Campbell nominations, please visit "We Love The Junction" web page.
