The city’s Parks and Recreation Department has completed a month-long $35,000 renovation project at the Jewett House. Work at the historic senior recreation center on East Lakeshore Drive included widening the driveway to accommodate emergency vehicles and senior center vans, painting of all the interior of the first floor and restoration of the wood flooring on the first and second floors and  stairway. A new heating system was also installed and the greenhouse was painted by sorority members from Washington State University with supplies provided by the city’s water department/ Coeur d’Alene Today .

DFO: More than 14 years ago, Mrs. O & I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a reception at the Jewett House. It was a wonderful venue. And the weather cooperated, allowing guests to walk along Sanders Beach. How about you? Have you ever rented the Jewett House for personal use?
