The new carriage-style doors aren't just historically accurate, they make it easier to bring large loads inside. Plywood protects the memorial plaque to Fireman James Lynch, killed in the line of duty.

The Membership and Financial offices moved into the historic Fire Station No. 3 on Oct. 9. Offices still exist at SPR's old home for 35 years, but Membership is the first department to spend most of their time at the new location.

Phone lines and an intranet connect 1229 with the rest of the staff at 2319 N. Monroe Street. Listeners contacting the Membership Department should still call (1-800) 328-5729 or send email. Staff members at the Hoban Building may be able help with questions as well.

This is the first of several stages in the process of moving 11 blocks south on Monroe Street. Underwriting, Events and Marketing offices are next. Preparations are still underway for moving the broadcast studios.

Thanks to Spokane Movers and their terrific two-man crew for transporting heavy desks, file cabinets and boxes.
