My intention is to record the progress of the restoration of this historical landmark building since its private ownership in 2008.

Wednesday update -- Kiggins Hosue
The only thing "new" I could see was the plastic tarps put along side the bottom of the foundation walls on the sides. I have no idea what they are for or if they are temporary.
The oldest posts are the beginning of the "journey" and newer posts will appear at the top of the page. I have even transferred comments from my other blog where I started this so I can refer to them if I need to do so. While I would like each photo to be perfect, I am only an amateur photographer trying to record history of a house I love even tho I have never been inside and might never get the opportunity. I think it's important to our city to have this journey to share.
My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House.
Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.
