Overview

This 19th-century log cabin was renovated in the mid-1980s by the Henry Klein Partnership of Mount Vernon, WA.

Alteration

Henry Klein and David Hall of the Henry Klein Partnership renovated and added to this historic log cabin on Shaw Island, WA, in 1986. David Hall's STUDIOEDISON.com web site said of this renovation project: "The sympathetic remodel included a new foundation and base log replacement, rechinking of the aging log walls, new windows and insulation. Front and side porches were added for outdoor living space and a new shingled L shaped shed created a kitchen-dining area and bathroom. In these rooms, former exterior logs were left intact. New stairs lead up to a cozy sleeping loft. A carport, chicken coop and fencing were also added without disturbing the old pear orchard or the homestead’s bucolic charm. The additions provide a neutral style that celebrates the original’s rich patina." (See David Hall, STUDIOEDISON.com, "Blake Place Cabin Restoration & Additions," accessed 04/11/2019.) This restoration received an award citation from the 1985-1986 American Institute of Architects (AIA)/Sunset Magazine Western Home Awards Program and a Commendation Award from the AIA, Seattle Chapter, in 1987.
