The Lund Building stood at North Front Street and East Yakima Avenue in 1899. Its original entrance, storefront renovations, stonework and neighboring doorways survive in a remarkable documentary record. Walk through the evidence, not an invented tunnel.
Thomas Lund commissioned Charles Bruenn to design the building; A. F. Switzer built it for approximately $4,000. The historic nomination describes an original diagonal corner entrance and retractable awnings. The cut-corner geometry shown here is symbolic, not a measured floor plan.
After the saloon, the first floor was converted to retail use with large plate-glass storefront windows. The upper story retained the cut-corner form, while the lower storefront changed. The illustrated glass layout is not a measured copy.
The National Register description notes that a metal marquee was added to the Yakima Avenue facade during the 1920s. This diagram shows a generic band to indicate that documented change. Its original precise shape and year remain unverified here.
The nomination describes two stories, load-bearing local stone walls, segmentally arched upper windows and a first-floor ceiling about 14 feet high. It also states that interior doorways connected the building to two neighbors, without establishing a date for those connections or an underground route.
These need original plans, Sanborn sheets, property records and authorized building research.
The historical nomination explicitly records that the Lund interior was connected to two surrounding buildings by doorways. This schematic describes the relationship in words and symbolic boxes only.
Important: The nomination does not identify the connecting doorways as underground. We cannot use this evidence to draw tunnel entrances or subterranean routes. Neighbor identity, connection date, location and access remain unresolved.
