We are proud to be a part of over a century of family history in North Bend. Our building was the original site of North Bend’s mercantile business “Glazier’s Dry Goods Co.” owned and operated by Ward Glazier, who first arrived in North Bend in 1908.
Ward purchased the building in the early 1920s and it underwent a major expansion in early 1940s when North Bend Way was widened. Ward’s son, Watt, removed the front portion of the original structure and expanded the reinforced concrete structure to its current configuration. After another remodel in the 1950s, Watt’s son, William, went on to run the family business as a clothing, draperies and antique store from the 1970s through the mid-1990s.
In 2019, the Glazier family has once again breathed new life into this site in conjunction with Volition Brewing Co. as North Bend’s very own craft brewery and taphouse.
See below for the original concepts and visions for the renovated space, designed by Jane Brookman Designs in collaboration with Herrera Architects, and visit us the next time you’re in Historic Downtown North Bend (credit: Jane Brookman Designs).
