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

Spokane's Corbin Art Center will host the "Age of Elegance Reimagined" event from September 6 to 20, 2025, featuring local furnishings to raise funds for the historic D. C. Corbin House's preservation. Admission is priced at $10, with all proceeds supporting the restoration of the front veranda and ongoing maintenance needs. Guided tours will be available on select dates, led by historian Cindy Blue-Blanton, providing an insightful experience for visitors.

In November, voters will decide on a Parks and Recreation levy that could provide additional funds for the mansion, which has served the community as an art center for over five decades. The D. C. Corbin House, designed by Kirtland K. Cutter, reflects the wealth of its original owner, who significantly contributed to Spokane's development.

The Corbin Art Center aims to foster creativity and personal growth through affordable fine arts programs for all ages. Those interested in supporting preservation efforts can donate via the Spokane Parks Foundation. The event emphasizes local history and community engagement, reinforcing the importance of maintaining cultural heritage.
