Window design project at Rose Theater

The first of a series of window designs intended to invigorate unoccupied buildings on Main Street has been placed in the windows of the former Rose Theater Building on Main Street. Jim Fitzgerald of Colfax has developed images for the windows of the building.

The project was undertaken by the Whitman County Historical Society and Perkins House volunteers. Kim Nguyen, owner of the Rose building, collaborated on the project to place the pictures in the front windows of the building.

Photographs of the restored Perkins House are used as background with black and white enlargements of the Perkins family.

One of the photos on the windows shows Mr. and Mrs. Perkins at the front sidewalk entrance with the Perkins House behind.

The larger window includes members of the Perkins family in the interior of the building.

Tours of the interior of the Perkins House will be offered during the Whitman County Historical Society's annual Ice Cream Social which is scheduled for June 23 at the house.

Nguyen previously displayed pictures and memorabilia in the front windows of the Rose building.
