Redmond Oregon City Hall Tour

Описание: Come with us to tour Redmond's Historic City Hall

Constructed in 1921, the Redmond High School building was dedicated on January 14, 1922. At the time, it was the largest and most impressive
building in Redmond. Lee Thomas designed the main building, with Olson and Erickson acting as the general contractors. The Bend brickyard
provided the approximately 400,000 bricks and construction costs were about $100,000. The building took only nine months to construct.
Reportedly the site was donated by the Commercial Club. According to Ward’s Redmond Rose of the Desert, The building was described as having
“fireproof stairways, vapor vacuum heating, Simplex window sashes, radiant lights, electric clock and intercommunicating telephone system, besides
much other equipment of the most modern schools.”

The building complex was converted to Junior High in the 1970s and later functioned as Evergreen Elementary around 2006.
This building complex is listed in the Redmond Historic Landmarks Inventory and protected from exterior alterations by city ordinance. It is currently
vacant with pending plans for rehabilitation and reuse as the new Redmond City Hall.
