Seattle's Cornish College of the Arts has sold Kerry Hall to the nonprofit Seattle Theater Group, the operators of the Paramount, Moore, and Neptune Theaters.
Kerry Hall is in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood and was the home of the college's founder, Nellie Cornish.
STG, which also operates an outdoor venue at Carnation's Remlinger Farms, plans to use it for more arts programming, but details were scarce on Monday night. Cornish had already moved more of its programs from Kerry Hall to the main campus in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood and the Cornish Playhouse at Seattle Center. Kerry Hall was the college's last building on Capitol Hill. The college said the proceeds from the sale will aid the financial stability of the school.
“We are thrilled to be able to turn this special space over to Seattle Theatre Group, one of Seattle’s most respected arts institutions,” said Cornish Interim President Emily Parkhurst. “It was important to the Board of Trustees that the building remain in the arts community and that our founder, Nellie Cornish’s legacy be honored.
