SEATTLE — An 111-year-old log structure in West Seattle’s Alki neighborhood is going to be restored after years of neglect.
KING-TV reported the Alki Homestead restaurant building in West Seattle, which has been closed since a fire in 2009, was designed a city landmark in 1996.
The owner of the building originally known as Fir Lodge will now be getting the repairs it needs to reopen.
Owner Dennis Schilling could not give a timeline for the restoration when the work was announced Saturday because the work must meet standards set by the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board.
He also plans to build a six-unit apartment building next door to help pay for the restoration.
