Age of Elegance Reimagined Showcases Local Furnishers to Raise Funds for Historic Preservation of D.C. Corbin Mansion, September 6-20

Spokane, WALocal News

Spokane's Corbin Art Center will showcase local furnishings during the "Age of Elegance Reimagined" event from September 6-20, 2025. Admission is priced at $10, with proceeds directed towards the preservation of the historic D. C. Corbin House. Guided tours featuring historian Cindy Blue-Blanton will be available on select dates, enriching the visitor experience with insights into the mansion's history.

The November Parks and Recreation levy is crucial, as it could allocate funds for ongoing maintenance and restoration of the facility. The D. C. Corbin House, designed by Kirtland K. Cutter, has been an art center for over 50 years, contributing to Spokane's cultural landscape.

Corbin's legacy includes his contributions to Spokane's development through his fortune in railroads and mining. Visitors can purchase displayed furniture, with discounted rates available for private group tours. Donations for preservation efforts can be made via the Spokane Parks Foundation's website.
