We need builders and con- 3 next to the Port of Allyn building to allow everyone to . see what has been happening on the inside. It may look like it has just been sitting there, as someone put it, "forever," but inside it has been cleaned out, shored up and made stable. Asbestos has been removed, which is a very tedious task, but now By CAT will lead to the spring begin- ROSS ning restoration and recre- ation of the glory that once was. The history that lives on will be there for generations to come in the museum that will soon sit upon a pier in the North Bay for all to visit and learn of the life of the only oyster house ~ '~' ~ ~IJl left in this area. The oyster house : ~ will showcase how the business and processing worked, and so much more ~Q~ ~ ~:'~z:~ through local stories ~s:=:~@~ " .~II~:, " ~,~ and photographs ~u~v~ that created our local oyster harvest- ing and processing history. Everyone is welcome. The O vs~er House restoration team is looking for a few good people with the best skills. These are special people that have a passion for history and craftsmanship and a love for car- rying on a tradition of fine work. Car- penters, builders and contractors who know that through working with their hands sends a message to generations of the future that this type of work matters as it is architecture at its fin- est. It's not a skill you can necessarily learn in college; it is a hands-on or trade skill. You see history is not just in books, it is in the fine craftsmanship of well-made and well-built buildings, cabinets, countertops that withstand daily use for hundreds of years; that too many of us take for granted or only see in antique stores or at garage sales or now on TV shows that sell an- tiques that is old stuff to young kids. The Sargent Oyster House is one of tractors who can donate some hours to help the project along. This is a true commitment -- the work comes in phases as it's an old building, and it all takes time. Nothing gets rushed. This is where you sign your name to the cabinet you create to specs, you bring your grandkid in and show them and they say "cool." And you and your grandkid know and care; maybe they help sand or carve. It's that kind of work that gets carried on.

Andy Mitchell went on to say that he believes "help- ing in this way; restoring older build- ings from the '30, '40s or more offers a community character, because anyone can build a new glass building." The Mitchell Lumber Co. of Belfair has donated the materials for Phase I of the 2019 spring build. "We understand the long-term im- pact the museum will have to the com- munity and we knew having quality supplied lumber to weather the storms was key in a restoration project of this historic value was necessary for the sustainability in the community for years to come," according to Mitchell's these buildings.
