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

Spokane's upcoming Parks levy seeks voter approval to fund the preservation of the historic D. C. Corbin House, which has served as the Corbin Art Center for over half a century. The "Age of Elegance Reimagined" event, taking place from September 6 to 20, 2025, will showcase fine local furnishings while raising funds for the mansion's restoration. Admission is set at $10, with all proceeds earmarked for the restoration of the front veranda and other ongoing maintenance efforts.

Guided tours led by historian Cindy Blue-Blanton will provide insights into the mansion's rich history, with specific tour dates listed throughout the event. The Corbin Art Center, part of the City of Spokane Parks & Recreation, offers affordable arts programs that foster community engagement and personal development. D. C. Corbin, a prominent figure in railroads and mining, originally built the mansion, which was later gifted to the city.

Those wishing to contribute further to the preservation can visit a dedicated donation link. The outcome of the levy vote will significantly impact the center's future maintenance and operational capabilities.
