Polish Home Expansion & Remodeling

Donations

Construction under way!

 

 


The building
started as a dance hall and in fact was one of the most popular dance halls in Seattle in the 1930s. Today, it has changed its character. It is home to multiple organizations important to the Polish community and a scene of many cultural events. However, it is no longer functional for new and upcoming needs.
First of all, space is needed for another meeting room, for secure exhibitions, or for a small theater with Polish TV or film club meetings.
Second, we need an elevator to improve access not only for the disabled and the elderly, but also to gain access to a vast storage space in the attic. Finally, the building also needs several technical improvements.
 
This page tracks the progress of the fundraising campaign that started in May, 2005. The goal of the campaign is to collect $350,000 for the construction an extension to the Polish Home building that will add space to improve functionality of the building as well as an elevator and new stairs for better access. It will include the following:
  • An entrance foyer with a new wide staircase, an elevator from the street level to the ground floor and upper floors.
  • Second floor with library storage room as well a room serving as a library reading lounge, a secure exhibition hall, a meeting room, and small film theater.
  • Third floor with additional space that would be left empty and used as storage.

More details about the campaign and the Master Plan for the Polish Home expansion and remodeling can be found here.
