In their Tuesday regular meeting Redmond City Council authorized the Mayor to execute on behalf of the City of Redmond a grant contract with 4Culture to fund rehabilitation of the Haida House.
Parks and Planning staff had submitted a successful application for $9,000 of Landmark
Rehabilitation Grant funds from 4Culture for rehabilitation of the Haida House (Dudley
Carter Studio). This Landmark Rehabilitation Grant will be provided as reimbursement
at a maximum of $9,000 in support of removing, replacing, and restoring the Haida
House roof shakes and sub-strata (Attachment A). The primary goal of this project is to
restore the Haida House to its original design and character and provide for long-term
preservation by replacing the roof consistent with the structure’s original construction
and with the Secretary of Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
Though the City of Redmond is not required to match this grant, the total project amount,
including tax is $38,282, which demonstrates a significant match of funds and staff time
by the City.
The Haida House (Dudley Carter Studio) is a modern post-and-beam building. Clad in
vertical wood siding and decorated with wood carvings, it was built in approximately
1980 as a studio by and for renowned local artist Dudley Carter. It was intended to
reflect the construction of a traditional Native American longhouse. Following Carter’s
death in 1992 the building served for a short period as a rental. It has been vacant since
1998. At its August 25, 2011, meeting, the Redmond Regional Landmarks Commission
unanimously approved a motion to designate Haida House (Replica #4) as a City of
Redmond Regional Landmark. Haida House’s location in Dudley Carter Park sets the
stage for a visual reminder of earlier residents and native traditions to promote the city’s
history and culture.
