Awnings Return To Stand Beside Century Log Town
During Washington’s 1939 centennial many stores lined the square with wooden and later permanent metal awnings that shaded sidewalks and altered the town’s look. The trend spurred comfort for pedestrians and could reshape the business district possibly with a block long common awning. John A Brashear and his wife, noted astronomers, are buried in an observatory tomb with the epitaph We have loved the stars too long to be fearful of the night.
