Background

This project is funded in part by 2025-2027 Washington State Capital Budget appropriation and must comply with all applicable Commerce CCF Grant Guidelines.

The Lewis County Historical Museum, housed in a historic train depot in Chehalis, WA, preserves the rich heritage of Washington State, the American West, and local Indigenous tribes. Once stretching from the Cowlitz River to Sitka, Alaska, Lewis County, known as "the mother of all counties," is central to our local, state, and national history. Unfortunately, the museum's aging roof has reached the end of its lifespan, with past repairs no longer holding up. Water intrusion now threatens both the historic building and the invaluable collection inside. To address this, the project will involve replacing the failed roof and flashing, conducting masonry repairs and some tuck pointing to the existing brick. The time has come for a comprehensive restoration to preserve this important piece of history for future generations.

The purpose of this project is to hire a qualified contractor to professionally restore critical exterior components of the Historical Museum. The primary goal is to make the structure fully watertight and ensure long-term protection of the building and its contents.

The work will include:
• Removal and replacement of the failed roof
• Installation of new flashing
• Repairs to roof sheathing and framing where water intrusion has caused damage
• Limited tuck‑pointing to restore deteriorated masonry and prevent further moisture infiltration that could affect the building’s historic interior plaster

Upon completion, the building’s exterior envelope will be comprehensively restored and significantly improved in its resistance to water intrusion.
