CELEBRATE MAPLE STREET INCINERATOR's LISTING
on the
YAKIMA REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES
Tuesday, January 17, 2012, 10:00a.m., Kiwanis Park @ Maple Street & Fair Avenue.
Cost: FREE.
Join the Yakima Historic Preservation Commission, the South East Neighborhood
Improvement Committee, and citizens interested in the history of Yakima in saluting the
Maple Street Incinerator for its recent listing on the Yakima Register of Historic Places.
Completed in 1935, the incinerator was viewed as an innovative method to improve
environmental conditions and overall health. The structure's fagade remains largely
intact, was part of President Franklin's New Deal, and today the incinerator is an
important piece of Yakima's history and its smoke stack has been an icon in southeast
Yakima for over seven decades. All citizens are welcome at the event to celebrate
Yakima's history.
