Good Shepherd Center turns 100

Historic Seattle, owner and manager of the Good Shepherd Center in Wallingford, will celebrate the building’s 100th anniversary at a free community event Sunday, July 22, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at 4649 Sunnyside Ave. N. in Wallingford.

The center is a city landmark and also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

“Come Back to 1907” will include live period music, costumed guests, ice cream and lemonade.

The Italianate-style building was designed by Breitung and Buchinger, with rusticated brick, Corinthian capitals and a statue of The Good Shepherd above the main entrance. It was operated as a home for “orphaned and wayward girls” by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. Historic Seattle acquired it from the city in 1977 and converted it into a community center.
