Byrd Barr Place is Seattle’s oldest community organization launched under the federal Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. Operating from historic Fire Station #23 in the Central District – a building on the National Register of Historic Places – Byrd Barr Place provides housing and energy assistance, a food bank, and financial education for many of Seattle’s neediest residents.
SHKS is providing design services to renovate the two-story building, originally constructed in 1908. A substantial reconfiguration of the interior enhances Byrd Barr Place's operations while respecting and celebrating the building’s historic character-defining features. The interior renovation of nearly 11,000 square feet includes a revamped food bank, the inclusion of a new community gathering space, and flexible office space for staff and expanding programs.
