WALLA WALLA 2020 HISTORIC BUILDING PLAQUES AND RESEARCH PROJECT

In 1994, Walla Walla 2020 launched an historic building plaque and research project to help preserve Walla Walla’s rich architectural and cultural history.

The purpose of the project has been to encourage people throughout the community to take pride in their neighborhoods, whether wealthy or humble, by honoring their history and buildings with handsome plaques.

We offer a distinctive, locally produced plaque of painted brass showing the date a structure was built, those who built or occupied it, and any other authenticated information of interest to the owner. While the project places special emphasis on structures built before 1920, any building more than 50 years old qualifies for both the plaque and the research project, which offers a basic search of Walla Walla County, Penrose Memorial Library and Pioneer Title Company records to assist in determining the date of construction and the owners of the property over the years.

The project has produced research reports and/or plaques for over 100 historic properties, including over 65 residences and 35 commercial or institutional buildings. A list of the residential properties by name and address and the commercial or institutional properties by name, showing dates of construction, appears below. Plaques for commercial buildings are produced in cooperation with the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation. Full reports on the properties researched will be available at Penrose Memorial Library at Whitman College.

The project offers to research a residence for $65, and a commercial building for $100. In addition, a 5 ˝" x 8" six-line plaque can be made for $40 (plus tax). Additional lines and sizes are also available. More information on the project can be obtained from Dan Clark, WW2020, PO Box 1222, Walla Walla, WA 99362, tel. 509-522-0399, e- mail Dan Clark clarkbh@charter.net.
