JIMI HENDRIX's Home Gets One Last Reprieve

August 19, 2005

Christine Clarridge of The Seattle Times has issued the following report:

The childhood home of Jimi Hendrix — which has faced repeated threats of demolition — has been given one last temporary reprieve.

King County Superior Court Judge Palmer Robinson yesterday refused to extend a temporary restraining order prohibiting the city of Seattle from tearing down the modest house.

However, Robinson said she thought the effort to preserve the Hendrix home was worthwhile and said she would give the home's owners until Sept. 1 to seek emergency relief from the state Court of Appeals.

The small house where the late guitar legend lived from 1953-56 was moved four years ago from its original site to a city-owned lot at 2010 S. Jackson St. The James Marshall Hendrix Foundation, headed by Seattle resident Pete Sikov, paid more than $30,000 to buy the house, move it and lease the land where it now stands.
