Age of Elegance Reimagined Showcases Local Furnishers to Raise Funds for Historic Preservation of D.C. Corbin Mansion, September 6-20
The City of Spokane is seeking voter approval for a Parks and Recreation levy in November to secure funds for the preservation of the D. C. Corbin House, currently the Corbin Art Center. The "Age of Elegance Reimagined" event will take place from September 6 to 20, 2025, showcasing fine home furnishings and offering guided tours led by historian Cindy Blue-Blanton. Admission costs $10, with all proceeds directed towards ongoing restoration efforts, particularly the front veranda.
The Corbin Art Center has operated at this historic site for over 50 years, providing quality arts programs that promote personal growth. Approval of the levy would facilitate necessary maintenance and repairs to ensure the mansion continues to function as a community art center. Discounted private tours are available for groups, enhancing accessibility for community engagement. Those interested in supporting preservation can donate via the Spokane Parks Foundation. The D.
C. Corbin House, designed by Kirtland K. Cutter, is a significant historical site with ties to Spokane's early development.
