A $12,000 state\ngrant will help the City of Yakima explore the possibility of establishing Naches\nAvenue as a Local Historic District in the City of Yakima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funds are\nfrom the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historical Preservation\n(DAHP). The grant was announced during\nthe City of Yakima’s Historic Preservation Commission meeting on June 26th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The grant will be used to\nbuild an inventory of historical buildings on Naches Avenue,” said\nAssociate Planner Trevor Martin, the Historic Preservation Commission’s staff\nliaison. “Depending on how well preserved they are, Naches Avenue could\nthen be nominated to the Local Register of Historic Places to develop an\nawareness of the area and preserve its historic integrity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naches Avenue is one of Yakima’s\noldest residential areas. The grant-funded work will likely begin in October\nand continue through next spring, Martin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks the second consecutive year Yakima has received a DAHP grant. In June 2018, the City received a $12,000 DAHP grant for “Fruit Row,” a row of fruit and ag-related facilities on First Avenue from Yakima Avenue up to D Street that dates back to the early 1900s.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

That grant was used to build an inventory of historical buildings on “Fruit Row” and then examine the condition of the buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results of the grant-funded\n“Fruit Row” research were unveiled during the June 26th<\/sup>\nHistoric Preservation Commission meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We felt very strongly that\nthere is a potential National Register Historic District tied in within the\nsurvey area,” Spencer Howard of Northwest Vernacular, Inc. said during the\nJune 26th<\/sup> “Fruit Row” presentation. He listed 24\ncontributing “Fruit Row” properties constructed between 1892 and 1968\nthat had the potential for a National Register Historic District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
