The Rehabilitation
1984 - 1988
On September 4, 1984 the United States deeded Officers' Row to the City of Vancouver. The City raised approximately ten million dollars for the rehabilitation of the Row through the sale of bonds, a state grant and city and federal monies. To preserve the buildings the City adapted them for use as offices, townhouses, meeting and exhibition rooms and a restaurant. The initial rehabilitation was completed in October 1988. The buildings continue to be improved through public contributions.
