A 67-year-old downtown building that housed several businesses over the years has been completely remodeled and is now home to 10 working studios known as the Rockford Building.

It was built at 504 E. Lakeside Ave. for Gardner Welding in 1952 and was the longtime home of Commercial Printing. Tanden Launder and his father, Mark, purchased it last year and have changed it into studios with tall ceilings and some with lofts and skylights.

The artists will show their work during the 5-8 p.m. Artwalk on Friday, June 7, in downtown Coeur d’Alene. The Rockford Building tenants include Ransom Storm (Inland Candle), Mike Shamberg (graphic designer), Bulwark Barber, Field of Depth Photography, Tanden Launder (mixed media) and artists Jeff Weir, Jeff Spencer, Anne Hedin and Jesse Pierpoint.

“We wanted something that would be a place for local creatives to push a new wave of culture into the community,” Tanden said.
