Seattle architect and original owner’s great-grandson restores north Idaho landmark building.


The Beardmore Building is one of only a handful projects in the country that is both on the national Registry of Historic and Places and LEED Gold certified by the US Green Building Council. Originally commissioned in 1922 by timber pioneer Charles Beardmore, the classic brick and terra cotta structure was once the centerpiece of the bustling north Idaho community. In later years it fell into disrepair under outside ownership so Beardmore’s great-grandson, Brian Runberg, purchased the building in 2006 and began the dramatic renovation.

It's in my hometown and I saw it go from totally abandoned to what it is today. Certainly a neat place to visit!
