Originally constructed as a Catholic girls’ school
in 1891, the renovation and revitalization of the Holy Names Academy
into a dynamic retirement community was no small task. The architects,
general contractor and developer took great care to work within the
historic preservation regulations set forth for the historic tax credit
funding by the National Park Service and the State of WA Historic
Preservation Office. The school building, contemplated for demolition,
was awarded an AIA Award for Excellence and a State of WA Historic
Preservation Award as “an excellent example of the adaptive reuse of an
abandoned historic structure for the benefit of our society
today.”
