Axtell House

The Dr. William H. and Frances C. Axtell House, also known as the Axtell House, is a historic residence located at 413 E. Maple St. in historic Bellingham, Washington. The house was built by Frances Cleveland Axtell (1866–1953) and her husband William Henry Axtell (1863–1927). The Axtells moved to Bellingham from Illinois in 1894. Construction on the house was completed in 1902. Between 1902 and 1942, the house served as a meeting spot for many of the local elite, including businessmen, politicians, and suffragettes who shared Frances' political ideals. In 1926, the house was subdivided into eight different apartments. William passed away a year later in 1927. Frances continued living in the house until 1942, when she moved to Seattle to care for one of her daughters, passing away there in 1953. By 2011, the house was owned by local attorney Patrick Gallery. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 7, 2012.

Hotel Laube
Hotel Laube

The Hotel Laube, also known as the Laube Hotel, is a historical hotel turned apartments located at 1226 N. State St. in downtown Bellingham, Washington. The building was completed in 1903 on behest of Charles Laube (1846–1928) and Margaret Laube (1851–1928). The building consists of brick and sandstone. When the hotel initially opened on February 3, 1903, the top two floors contained 50 rooms for guests. After Charles Laube's death in 1928, ownership of the hotel passed to his sons, Charles F. Laube and Herbert D. Laube. The hotel closed in late 1983. During the late 1970s, a bar and music venue opened on the main floor. The business ran under several names, such as Bucks, Pete's, and finally Bellingham Bay Brewing Company (later shortened to 3B). Several live music acts such as Death Cab for Cutie and Idiot Pilot performed at the venue. 3B closed its doors on December 31, 2005, in preparation for renovations to the building. In 1998 the building was sold to developer Robert K. Hall, who owned Daylight Properties. Hall later sold to building to the Bellingham Housing Authority in 2005, citing difficulties in renovation as reason for the sale. A renovation project by the Housing Authority was started in 2007 and was completed in 2008 for the cost of $5.5 million. The upper floors of the building were remodeled to 20 low income housing apartments, while two retail spaces opened on the ground floor. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings on August 29, 2003. The two retail spaces on the ground floor are currently being occupied by a deli and a thrift store.
