KNOW YOUR ISLAND WALK
Sat, September 26th, 10:00am
Building Friday Harbor, Block by Block
Join architectural historian Boyd Pratt for an introduction to the layout, construction, and design of Friday Harbor, fortified by a leisurely stroll around the block to look at significant buildings.
Why is Spring Street called that? Why is Sunshine Alley at an angle to the north/south, east/west grid of the Nichols Street area? And how come there are all of these concrete block buildings around town--including Brickworks? Find out the skinny (and the solidity) of Friday Harbor's origin story(ies).
Meet at Brickworks Market Pig. Distance: 1 mile. Rating: Easy on sidewalk pavement. Dogs on leash ok.
