Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Bob Rodgers was born in Seattle in 1923 and served in the US Army during World War II. While stationed in Bavaria, he became so fascinated with the architecture, music and dress, that he returned in 1955 to enjoy its culture. Ted Price was born in Portland, Oregon in 1923, and served in the US Marine Corps during World War II. After the war, he became a representative for Pfizer Laboratories, a job that introduced him to physicians and pharmacists throughout upper Washington State, including the town of Leavenworth. Ted proved to be the visionary in introducing many Bavarian projects, activities and events in the Leavenworth community.

In 1960 Bob and Ted purchased the Coles Corner Café near Leavenworth. Bob pushed for a Bavarian theme when they remodeled the restaurant, as he felt they could bring the spirit and beauty of Bavarian culture to their customers. They renamed the restaurant The Squirrel Tree and incorporated many Bavarian features, including costumes, music, flowers, Christmas lighting, and decorative architectural elements. The restaurant was an immediate success, so in 1961 they built The Squirrel Tree Chalet Motel, the first Bavarian-style structure in the Pacific Northwest.

Ted and Bob next planned to create an authentic "Old Bavarian Village" adjoining the restaurant and motel, but this undertaking proved unfeasible. Undaunted, Ted became active in the affairs of nearby Leavenworth, then suffering a severe economic depression. In order to save their town, under the guidance of the University of Washington, the Leavenworth townspeople had undertaken an extensive self-help study project, called "Leavenworth Improvement For Everyone" or LIFE. Ted joined with others, and in 1963 he proposed and became chairman of the LIFE Tourism Committee. When Price and Rodgers first advanced the idea of a theme town based on tourism and the adoption of the Bavarian village motif, as outsiders they were working with a double handicap; not only were they originally from Seattle, but their current Squirrel Tree business and home were miles outside of town.

Price and Rodgers decided to sell the Squirrel Tree and acquire as much Leavenworth property as possible with an eye to remodeling it in Bavarian style. Even after they moved into town, the prejudice persisted, possibly fueled also by their status as bachelor friends rather than family men. The two partners left Leavenworth in 1986 and eventually retired to Palm Springs. They did not come out as a gay couple until years after their departure from Leavenworth, but suspicions and prejudices may have existed during their residence there. Major property owners soon took out loans in order to transform their own buildings, but the question remained of how to proceed with the actual remodeling. Fortunately for Leavenworth, Earl Petersen, the designer of Solvang, the Danish-themed town in California, contacted Ted Price to offer his services free of charge. Petersen and another designer with Old World experience, German-born Heinz Ulbricht of Seattle, guided the remodeling to ensure the utmost authenticity. Ulbricht and his family later moved to Leavenworth. On March 21, 1968, Leavenworth was one of 11 cities to receive an All America City Award from Look Magazine and the National Municipal League. According to the Leavenworth Echo , Leavenworth was "honored for pulling itself out of a serious economic slump."

Another "outsider" who became a benefactor of Leavenworth was Carolyn Schutte (d. 1975). This Seattle woman had often brought guests to the Squirrel Tree and had befriended Price and Rodgers. Over several years, she quietly bought Leavenworth property, including part of the riverfront that would eventually become the major park in the town. One of the holdouts against the Bavarian village idea had been Robert B. Field (d. 1967), a longtime banker who had arrived in Leavenworth in 1910. In 1968 Carolyn Schutte bought Field’s home and the adjoining half mile of riverfront property, which had been his Bent River Arabian Horse Ranch. At her suggestion, Price and Rodgers moved into the house and bought it from her a few years later. In 1972, Schutte deeded the valuable river frontage property to the city of Leavenworth. A substantial portion of what is now Riverfront Park is the result of this gift. The Field home later became the Haus Lorelei Bed and Breakfast and now houses the Upper Valley Museum.

In order to ensure continuing authenticity, the town created the Leavenworth Design Review Board, which became official on July 16, 1970. All construction and remodeling in Leavenworth must meet not only the usual codes but also the Bavarian styles stipulated by this board. Although the remodeling of privately owned buildings was achieved without any government money, the city did take advantage of public grants to acquire and develop waterfront property for park and recreational purposes. The Washington State Inter-Agency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (IAC) provided communities with matching funds for these purposes. Because the federal government then matched both city and state funds, the community only had to raise 25 percent of the total. In addition, Carolyn Schutte donated her property along the river and Price and Rodgers bought five waterfront acres across the river to donate.

It was not long before tourists began thronging to Leavenworth, attracted not only by the scenery, recreational opportunities, shopping, and European flavor of the place, but by special events and festivals. The normal population of around 2,500 can swell to 10 times that on holiday weekends, when dozens of tour buses empty their passengers onto the main streets. Some two million tourists visit Leavenworth every year, and the sales taxes their purchases generate benefit the state coffers. Each season has its festival (or more than one): the Autumn Leaf Festival, Oktoberfest, the Village Lighting Festival, the Bavarian Ice Fest, Maifest, yodeling and accordion festivals, wine tastings, and a host of other events bring large numbers of tourists.

Bob Rodgers died on March 27, 2014, and Ted Price died on February 19, 2015.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The collection includes many photographs, slides, negatives, documents, audiovisual media, news clippings, and ephemera related to the development of Leavenworth, Washington into a Bavarian-themed village. There are images and identifications of buildings along several downtown blocks from before the remodeling began in Leavenworth in 1964, as well as many different types of maps related to the town, including plat maps, site maps, development, and planning maps. Photos document the physical transformation of the village, and community projects, activities, and events, and also include some personal and family photos of Ted Price and Bob Rodgers. Another part of the collection includes architectural drawings and redevelopment plans drafted by Heinz Ulbricht between circa 1960-1995 for Leavenworth. Videos in the collection document Mai Fest, the Autumn Leaf Festival, Christmas Lighting activities, and historic buildings in Leavenworth, Washington, and also include copies of feature films about the town. The collection includes a number of interviews with individuals associated with Leavenworth's Chamber of Commerce and the efforts to introduce the town's current architectural elements.
