The 1.5 story bungalow is two hours southwest of Seattle on East 1st Street in Aberdeen. The house is a 1923 structure with dingy carpeting and water-stained wooden shingles on some interior walls.
Corbain’s biograph Charles R.Cross related that the child Corbain experienced here his parents’ divorce and because of this he wrote on his bedroom wall “I hate Mom, I hate Dad,”
“It’s a place that helped shape who he became,” appreciated Cross and this is an argument to give value to this house.
Corbain lived in about 20 houses in his life but this seems to be one of the most important. “We’ve decided to sell the home to create a legacy for Kurt, and yes, there are some mixed feelings since we have all loved the home and it carries so many great memories” said Corbain’s sister, Kim.
The family is offering a glimpse into the early life of the artist through various photos fixing his presence in this house.
