7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2015 Oasis: Project still needs skilled volunteers to help keep costs low Continued from Page 1A Soderberg said the store is taking a different focus, providing more space for sur- vivors of sexual assault and domestic violence to sell their own products, along with a gallery to display their work. They have also seen an influx of higher-end donations from sources like estates. Next to Deja Vu, on the corner of 10th and Duane streets, will be the Sexual Assault Peer Center, a long- term support system. Part of the building’s design will allow people to go shopping in Deja Vu and anonymous- ly transition into the center. Upstairs, the former offic- es in the Van Dusen Building have been knocked out and replaced with a reconfigured maze of frames still waiting to be walled in. Boggs said one of the hardest parts of the remodel is packing stuff downstairs and out of the building, along with creating Americans with Disabilities Act access to The Harbor’s new offices. “If someone was to do- nate us a brand-new eleva- tor, that would be great,” Boggs said, adding the proj- ect still needs skilled volun- teers to help defray the costs of remodeling. Offices for many Boggs said there used to be offices for insurance and logging companies, along with a doctor’s office and an X-ray room. The newly redesigned Van Dusen Building will easily surpass that variety, with offices for The Harbor, private lessees, domestic vi- olence advocates, the Lower Columbia Gender Alliance and the Lower Columbia Q Center, the first permanent local meeting area for the LGBT community. It will also contain a children’s JOSHUA BESSEX — The Daily Astorian Cooper Boggs shows some of the offices during a tour of The Harbor’s new building. Submitted Photo Crew members from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Waesche, stopping in Astoria early last month on its way to the Portland Rose Festival’s Fleet Week, helped demolish and frame the inside of the Van Dusen Building that will become The Harbor’s new headquarters. area, community class- rooms and a kitchen. Jeralyn O’Brien, chair- woman of the gender alli- ance, said the relationship with The Harbor largely started with a grant the gender alliance wrote to help The Harbor expand its reach beyond women, with outreach to the LGBT com- munity and more domestic abuse and sexual assault ad- vocates. Since demolition started at the Van Dusen Building, the gender alliance has pro- vided labor and raised mon- ey for the build-out through events like T. Paul’s Forks with Benefits dinner spe- cials and Marco Davis’ Big Gay Skate Night. The gen- der alliance operates under the auspices of The Harbor, with volunteers training as domestic abuse and sexual violence advocates. “The community has rec- ognized the need,” said Tes- sa James Scheller, a mem- ber of the gender alliance and governing board mem- ber for Clatsop Community College. “There’s a fairly good-sized queer communi- ty in Astoria.” Going home The Harbor, when it was known as the Women’s Re- source Center, originally moved into the Van Dusen Building from No. 10 Sixth St. in the late 1990s. To save money, the agency moved into the Norblad Building at 1389 Duane St. in 2010. In 2012, the late Pig ’N Pancake owner and co-founder Robert Poole gifted The Harbor the Van Dusen Building. Since then, Soderberg said, The Harbor has been paying taxes on the property. The work doesn’t stop once Deja Vu and the offic- es are moved in. Soderberg is seeking grant funding to help restore the historical landmark, built in 1923 by Van Dusen & Co. That means tearing off the corrugated metal run- ning across the original transom windows, using all original materials inside and figuring out what the building looked like when first built. Structurally, the build- ing is as sound as the day it was build, said Boggs. “The concept is it will look as close as it did to when it was built.” If anyone has a histori- cal photo of what that looks like, Boggs said, bring it by.
