This pattern book is part of an effort to ensure additions, major renovations, new infill housing,
and development respect the historical context, architectural character, and scale of Mount Rainier’s established neighborhoods. The book serves as a resource for the community, homeowners, architects, contractors and builders, design review committee members, municipal reviewers, elected officials, and others interested in the history of Mount Rainier. Its purpose is to illuminate local building skills and traditions that abounded during the city’s early history and help Mount Rainier sustain the harmony and character of its buildings within their unique context.
