City Of Duvall history
City Of Duvall company history timeline
In 1892, the Valley House was built as a hotel for travelers.
Arthur and Pauline Hix; with encouragement from their pastor, decided to set up residence and shop on the Dougherty property of Cherry Valley (Taylors Landing) in 1905.
In 1905, a swing bridge was built across the river, which later opened up stage travel to and from the ferries on Lake Washington, located 20 miles away.
James Wallace the future builder of the Forest Inn bought the Valley House from Crossman in 1906 and proceeded to establish it as a headquarters for hunters and sportsmen.
In 1909, the Great Northern and Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul railroads began building a line along the river, but the town of Cherry Valley was in the way.
By 1911, four hotels accommodated travelers and the town newspaper, the Duvall Citizen, had started publication.
Wallace kept the business for a few years and the owner he sold the business to, closed the building down in 1912.
Studio Beju was originally the Duvall State Bank built in 1912, and later a branch of Seafirst aka Bank of America.
Originally Boyd’s Grocery (1912), this building initially contained a grocery store as well as a bakery and post office.
On January 6, 1913, the town of Duvall incorporated.
Built in 1913, it originally housed Franke’s Shoe Store where Joseph Franke made and repaired shoes (including the caulked boots for loggers). Later, the building served as the office of Judge Wright, the grandfather of Broadway star Martha Wright.
In 1916, 40 inches of snow and six inches of ice caused extensive damage.
In 1930, another fire leveled the Forest Inn, a grand Bavarian structure that had been a landmark.
The Grange purchased the building in 1933 and it remained as the social center of town for years, including serving as the home for Klondike Days.
Built in 1934, just a year after prohibition was repealed, The Duvall Tavern has remained in operation ever since.
In 1951, a third bridge was built at a cost of $400,000.
In 1977 it became the famous Silver Spoon Restaurant.
