WASHINGTON SCHOOL APARTMENTS
Walla Walla, Washington

Originally built in 1901, this eleven-room elementary school was converted into 24 one bedroom low-income apartments for the elderly. Many of the original interior and exterior details have remained as part of the design, including the refinished hardwood floors in the foyers, the interior staircase, and the original lightning rod that remains perched at the top of the bell tower. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
