Architectural Description
Site, Setting & Neighborhood Physical Context
The J.W. Bullock Residence is located in the North Broadway district, the northwestern
most portion of the greater Capitol Hill neighborhood in central Seattle. The immediate
neighborhood is bounded to the east by Volunteer Park, to the north by the Roanoke Park
residential area, to the south by the Broadway commercial district, and to the west by
Interstate 5. The Capitol Hill neighborhood is defined by two north-south ridges: one runs
along Broadway and Tenth Ave E. from Pike Street to Roanoke Park and the other runs
along 15th Avenue E. between Madison Street and Boston Street. These ridges and the
adjacent hillsides offer dramatic west-facing views to Lake Union and Elliott Bay beyond
and east-facing views to Lake Washington and the Cascade Range. The 200-acre
Volunteer Park and the adjacent and equally large Lakeview Cemetery (along with the
Grand Army Cemetery) form a major urban design element within the neighborhood, as
do the picturesque tree-lined older residential streets in the surrounding North Capitol
Hill neighborhoods. Volunteer Park was designed as part of the greater Seattle Parks and
Boulevard system planned by the Olmsted Bros. in 1903 and 1908. Nearby extant
components of the Olmsted legacy include Interlaken Boulevard and Roanoke Park.
The J.W. Bullock Residence is situated within the plat of Phinneys Addition on the high
east side of the Tenth Avenue E. ridge; it is approximately one-half block west of the
western boundary of Volunteer Park and three blocks north of the Broadway commercial
district. The residence is formally oriented toward Tenth Avenue E., which is a busy
north-south arterial that served historically as an electric street car route. The residence is
prominently sited at a mid-block location due to the size of the parcel and its visibility
from the south. It is also prominent due to its design character and the fact that the
adjacent houses and a church that are also situated along this side of the block were all
constructed after 1951.[Figs.1-4] The immediate geographic area is primarily
characterized by single family residences including many other older residential
properties. Four landmark properties are located nearby and a short distance north on the
opposite side of Tenth Avenue E.: St. Mark Episcopal Cathedral (1926-30 & 1957-59),
Old St. Nicholas School (1925-26, Bebb & Gould) [Fig. 57] and the John & Eliza Leary
Mansion (1904-07, Alfred Bodley) and the Pierre P. Ferry House (1904-06 John
Graham/Alfred Bodley). Several particularly distinctive mansions and family homes are
located nearby along Federal Avenue E. and immediately adjacent to Volunteer Park:
including the Collins-Grammer Mansion (1254 10th Ave. N now 1255 Federal Ave. N.
1910 & 1923) [Fig. 56], Dr. Frederick Bentley House (1204 Federal Ave. N, Joseph
Cote, 1914 [Fig. 55] The Harvard-Belmont Landmark District, which is primarily
composed of historic mansions and family homes (and partially located within the
Phinneys Addition) is located downhill and a few blocks to the southwest of the J.W.
Bullock Residence. [Graphic A & B]
The J. W. Bullock Residence is sited near the center of a square 10,000 sq. ft land parcel
composed of two 50 x 100 lots and is setback approximately 33-feet from the adjacent
sidewalk and street right-of-way. The residence is sited approx. three feet above the grade
Page 3

of the adjacent sidewalk and the western edge of the site is bounded by distinctive
retaining wall composed of rusticated and carved pieces of sandstone.[Fig.5 & 26] The
construction date of the retaining wall has not been verified. There are also remnants of
rusticated sandstone blocks with imbedded hitching rings located around the site.1
[Fig.29] Formal entry to the house from Tenth Avenue E. is via the original stone steps
and concrete pathway that lead to the original flared stone entrance porch steps.[Fig. 27]
Concrete paving and/or stone pathways are located at the west side of the entrance porch
and along the northeast and southeast sides of the residence. Well established deciduous
trees and shrubs are planted above the retaining wall and along the west, south and east
sides of the house and the site. Two large cedar trees are located at the eastern edge of the
site, which is bounded by an historic concrete retaining wall. This extensive foliage tends
to obscure some views of the house. An historic two-car garage is located at the northeast
corner of the site and is accessed via a concrete ribbon-type driveway.[Fig.6] A nonhistoric brick sound-deadening wall with ornate non-historic wrought iron gates is
located above and behind the entire original retaining wall along western edge of the
site.[Fig.28] Historic stone caps were salvaged and used to construct the sound wall. The
east property line abuts an adjacent residential parcel and there is no alley.[Graphic M-1]
Current Exterior Appearance
Design Character - Typical Extant Original Features & Finishes
The J.W. Bullock Residence is a 2-1/2 story wood-frame structure with a concrete
foundation and a full basement level. The exterior of the house is very well preserved
and exhibits numerous original architectural features and finishes drawn from the popular
late 19th C. Colonial Revival design mode and is an elaborate variation on the American
Four Square house type.2 The exterior is distinguished by a prominent 2-1/2 story hipped
roof main building form with a one-story (conservatory) wing at the south elevation. A
full width entrance porch extends across the front (faade) of the main building form and
the one-story wing. The entire exterior is clad with brick veneer. The base of the house is
clad with common red brick and the upper portion with a textured buff color brick; the
corners are highlighted by quoin treatments executed with contrasting rock-face
brick.[Fig.20] The exposed portions of the concrete foundation walls are finished and
scored to create the appearance of regularly coursed stonework.[Fig.18]
Due to the presence of ornate carved blocks that are Romanesque Revival in character, the retaining wall
appears to have been constructed with stone possibly salvaged from a demolished commercial building. It
is presumed to have been built prior to 1937 and during the period of Bullock ownership. Additional
remnants of rusticated sandstone blocks that include hitching rings may have been associated with Mr.
Bullocks coal and wood delivery business which utilized mule teams.

Colonial Revival was the dominant residential architecture style throughout the nation during the first half
of the 20th C. particularly after 1910. Emerging in the 1880s, the earliest examples often exhibited the
asymmetry of the popular Queen Anne style. The hipped roof with full width porch is a distinct subtype
that gained popularity in the 1890s as the American Four Square house type, a stylized vernacular form,
was popularized via plan books. The Colonial Revival style gained tremendous popularity after 1915 and
especially during the 1920s as the more tradition (Georgian or Federal inspired) brick veneer clad, sidegable forms were more frequently built.

The house exhibits highly distinctive exterior features indicative of the influence of the
Colonial Revival design mode (a pre-1915 subtype) and the American Four Square house
type that include: a generally symmetrical form and fenestration, hipped roof accentuated
by hipped dormers and 36 wide bracketed soffits, brick cladding with distinctive brick
quoins (Georgian Revival inspired) and dentil brick details at window sills and
watertables, one-story full width open porch accentuated by a prominent front pediment
treatment the roof of which is supported by tapered columns and further accentuated by a
main entry door with sidelights and transom.[Fig.21] The stylistic character of the house
is further embellished by an elaborate wooden rooftop balustrade at the second floor
balcony that extends above the entrance porch and the conservatory wing. A similar
balustrade also accentuates the front dormer.
The principle hipped roof form is includes wide hipped roof wall dormers at the east and
north elevations and one extant original chimney.3 The original chimney exhibits
common red brick masonry and a simple cap; it is located at the North elevation and
serves separate fireplaces at the basement, first and second floor levels. The roof was
originally clad with Cedar shingles: however, it is now covered by an unobtrusive asphalt
shingle roofing product.
The house exhibits a variety of original intact wooden window sash and window types;
including: large cottage type windows with multi-pane (20 o/one) sash located at the
North elevation (dining room) and south elevation (study), similar 12 o/ one sash
members at the South elevation (former conservatory space) and narrow (8 o/ one)
casement sash members located at the North elevation (living room) and the East
elevation (dining room). The faade is distinguished by large segmental arched cottage
windows with ornate beveled glass transoms (at living room and study) that flank the
front entry doorway. The doorway also includes ornate leaded and beveled glass
sidelights and a segmental arched transom light. The East elevation (dining room)
includes another ornate leaded and beveled glass window centered above the sideboard
(see description of Significant Interior Features below).
Two cottage windows with ornate stained glass upper sash members are located at the
second floor level faade. A highly decorative (Georgian Revival inspired) Bulls Eye
window is also located at the center of the second floor level faade.[Fig.19]
West Elevation (faade) The principal West elevation or faade is dominated by a
prominent 2-1/2 story hipped roof form and a full width porch. The porch extends south
beyond the main hipped roof building form and in front of a one-story wing that extends
along the length of the south side of the building.[Fig.7] A pedimented entrance porch
and stairs that project from the center of the porch are offset to the south side of the main
hipped building form.[Fig.8] The flat porch roof functions as a balcony at the second
floor level and includes an elaborate wooden balustrade that extends to the south
elevation above the conservatory wing. This balustrade is echoed at the third floor level
where there is a small porch at the principle front dormer. The porch roof is supported by
The original hipped dormer at the south elevation has been altered. Nonhistoric alterations are discussed
below.
Page 5

slightly tapered wooden columns with decorated denticulated caps. The columns rest on a
brick wall that also includes a denticulated cap. The porch is entered via a central set of
flared concrete and stone entry stairs with cheeks. This elevation includes an ornate entry
doorway with transom and sidelights and ornate beveled-glass windows at the first and
second floor levels. Four small double-hung windows are located at the third floor level
dormer. The main hipped roof, the flat porch roof with pediment and the dormer roof all
include decorative soffit brackets. Distinctive original exterior sconce light fixtures are
also located at the entry doorway.[Fig.22]
South Elevation This prominent elevation exhibits distinctive intact architectural
features and brick cladding materials that unify the overall design of the house. This
elevation is dominated at the first floor level by the one-story wing that houses the study
and the conservatory space that now functions as a family room. The original wide wall
dormer at this elevation had been altered as described below. (See section below
describing Non- Historic Exterior Alterations) The varied fenestration pattern and
windows at the center of the second floor level are indicative of the placement of the
original interior stairwells. [Figs.9, 10 11 & 12]
East Elevation The East or rear elevation is within 13 of the east property line and
difficult to view. The original rear porch at this elevation has been altered as described
below. (See section below describing Non- Historic Exterior Alterations) Despite the
modern porch alterations, the original brick cladding, dormer, fenestration, window sash
and other details remain intact and well preserved. This elevation exhibits typical original
roof details, double-hung window sash and decorative brick window sills. [Figs.13 & 14]
North Elevation This elevation is adjacent to the driveway that runs along the north edge
of the property leading to the extant original two-car garage at the northeast corner of the
site. This elevation exhibits distinctive intact architectural features and brick cladding
materials that unify the overall design of the house. This elevation is dominated by the
brick chimney and a wide wall dormer at the center of third floor level. The wide wall
dormer includes a band of four small double-hung windows. A particularly distinctive
square bay window with two large multi-pane cottage windows is located at the east end
of the first floor level of this elevation.[Figs.15, 16 &17]
Historic Exterior Alterations
According to the current owners, King County Assessor and DPD permit records there
were no substance exterior alterations made to the residence prior to 1994. The tax
records indicate that there may have been minor earthquake damage to the porch in 1964.
Non-Historic Exterior Alterations
The building site exhibits a few changes and alterations made by the current owners.
These changes include the construction of a brick masonry sound-deadening wall with
wrought iron gate that is located along the west property line; this wall is very similar in
Page 6

character to the historic brick masonry used to construct the residence.4 The original
lower stone retaining wall below this wall remains in place and well preserved.
Portions of the second floor level balcony balustrade and the balustrade at the front
dormer balcony have been repaired and or replaced in-kind. The original front entry
porch flooring was a parged concrete material that was deteriorated and unsafe; in 1995 it
was replaced with a varnished fir decking.
The South elevation exhibits a major modern alteration. In order to accommodate a
modern bathroom space on the third floor level, an original windowless dormer was
expanded and enlarged in 1995. The original hipped roof structural members were
removed and the (brick) dormer wall was extended up approx. five feet, and clad with
horizontal wooden siding and capped with a flat roof. The flat roof is finished with a
bracketed projecting soffit and capped with a decorative balustrade modeled on the
design of the original porch balustrade.5 An original second brick chimney, which
appears to have originally served the basement level coal furnace and the kitchen, was
also removed as part of this project. [Fig. 9]
The kitchen space at the SE corner of the main wing was entirely remodeled in 1995; the
work involved the enclosure of an original rear porch/cold storage area and the
conversion of the former porch area to useable interior space. The original footprint and
form of former porch space was retained and large folding doors with stained glass panels
designed to match the original porch windows were installed. [Fig.12 &13]
Garage Description
The historic garage is a one-story, wood-frame structure that measures 18 x 22 that was
designed in character with the house and is generally well preserved. It is clad with brick
materials that match the residence and also features rock-face brick quoins. It exhibits a
hipped roof and according to a King County property record card image from August
1937 originally included a wide bracketed soffit similar in detail to the residence;
however, the brackets are no longer in place.[Graphic L] It retains a set of four (4)
distinctive bi-folding garage doors that appear to be original, which are located at both
the west and the east elevations. They are wooden, tall and narrow, two-panel type with
ornate multi-pane glazed panels in the upper sections. It is unclear as to what the original
function or purpose was for the easternmost set of doors. [Figs.23, 24 & 25]
Significant Interior Features and/or Finishes
Spatial Configuration
The interior spaces, features, and finishes (including historic lighting fixtures) are very
well preserved. The first floor level interior includes five highly intact formal living
According to the owners the purpose of this wall is to provide some privacy and lessen the impact of the
vehicular noise on Tenth Avenue E., a major north-south arterial on Capitol Hill.

The balustrade treatment tends to draw attention to this alteration and it has been suggested that it be
removed and that the pop-up be painted the color of the roof.

spaces: a reception hall with a prominent main stairwell, a large living room with
fireplace [Fig.32], a particularly large dining room with built-in sideboard [Fig.33], a
small library/study [Fig.39] and a former conservatory that now serves as a family
room6.[Graphic M-2] Ceilings are typically 9 high throughout. The first floor level is
finished with lath and plaster and exhibits elaborately detailed and beautifully preserved
Golden Oak paneling, running and standing trim work and cabinetry. Decorative in-laid
hardwood floors are typical throughout the first floor level formal spaces. Ornate original
light fixtures of varied distinctive designs are located throughout the first floor level.
Original ornate circulating hot water gravity radiators also remain in place throughout the
house. [Fig.53]
An updated historic powder room space is located between the main stairwell and the
kitchen; the powder room and kitchen spaces were expanded in 1995 and absorbed
portions of the original servants stair that ran between the kitchen and the main stairwell.
The kitchen has been remodeled and expanded; it does not retain historic building fabric
or features.
The second floor level interior includes several intact private living spaces: a spacious
main stairway landing, a wide central hallway passage common to the four bedrooms and
one bathroom at this level.[Graphic M-3] The bedrooms are located at each corner; the
NW bedroom includes a fireplace and like the SE bedroom includes a doorway access to
the second floor level porch balcony. Ceilings at both floor levels are typically nine feet
in height. The second floor level is finished with lath and plaster and also exhibits
elaborately detailed oak running and standing trim work that is darkly stained. Fir floors
are typical at the second floor level.
The third floor level is a simply finished and includes three bedrooms and a modern
bathroom space.[Graphic M-4] The basement level is partially finished and includes an
accessory dwelling unit and bathroom are located at the western end.[Graphic M-5] A
portion of this area may have originally served as the Billiard Room; however, no historic
building fabric remains in place with the exception of a distinctive fireplace with a
sandstone surround and mantel. Other portions of the basement level appear to have been
altered during the period when the house functioned as a rooming house. The basement
level includes an historic oil-fired hot water boiler furnace, remnants of a fuel/coal room
with former coal chute that is now used as a utility room, a laundry room, storage and a
former play room.
Features & Finishes of Significance
Golden Oak woodwork and doors (including hardware) Ornate original natural Golden
Oak (running, standing and cove mould) woodwork is located throughout the formal
spaces within the first floor and the private spaces on the second floor level. The running
trim includes tall baseboards, wainscoting, plate rails, picture rails and heavy door and
window caps. The windows and doorways are trimmed with highly distinctive fluted

surrounds. Original oak doors and ornate original brass hardware also remain in place.
Oak is dark stained at the second floor level and within the former conservatory space.
Trim details at the second floor level vary and include egg/dart moldings. [Fig.38]
Reception Hall & Stairwell The reception hall at the SW corner of main wing is entered
at the south end of the entrance porch and features a highly distinctive open stairwell that
leads east to a mid-landing and to south a full-landing (where the servants stair initially
joined it). The stairwell is distinguished by an elaborately carved Golden Oak newel post
and wainscoting with distinctive classically-derived detailing. The newel post is capped
by an elaborate light fixture (see Lighting Fixtures description below). [Figs.30, 31, &
36]

significance.
Statement of Significance
North Broadway Neighborhood & Phinneys Addition Historic Context
The lake people a branch of the local Duwamish tribe inhabited seasonal winter camps
situated along the protected shorelines of Lake Union and Lake Washington long before
Euro-American settlement occurred in the Puget Sound region in the mid-nineteenth
century. These family groups lived in established cedar long houses at scattered village
sites and other seasonal camps where they hunted and gathered a rich variety of
indigenous flora and fauna including various fish species, waterfowl, beaver and otter as
well as cedar, Wapato, water lily and cattail. Ancient trail system extended between
Elliott Bay and the lakes and south through what we now know as the Rainier Valley.
The lake people are believed to have occupied house sites and used prairie, wet lands and
the dense forests around Lake Union and Portage Bay until the 1860s; however, by the
1890s most of the indigenous population had departed with only limited use of the lakes
lasting up until the lowering of the water level in 1916 and the completion of the Lake
Washington Ship Canal.
Typical of most of the region, the geographic area surrounding the western ridge of
Capitol Hill was heavily forested when the settlement townsite of Seattle was established
in 1853. Demand for timber for Yeslers Mill and for exported lumber to California
prompted the logging of most of the hillsides and ridge tops above Elliott Bay. By the
1880s, the timber along most of the western ridge of Capitol Hill - then known as
Broadway Hill had been harvested. The geographic area surrounding what would
Page 10

become Volunteer Park was annexed to Seattle in 1883. The 40 acres that became
Volunteer Park had been purchased for general municipal use in 1876; initially known as
Washelli Cemetery (1885) the site was subsequently dedicated to park use known as
City Park - in 1887 and later renamed Volunteer Park (1901).7
Phinneys Addition to the City of Seattle was one of the earliest residential platted areas
to be created in the vicinity of the cemetery and future park. Platted for the landowners John and Mary Leary it was recorded on February 14, 1882. [Graphic C] The
rectangular east west oriented plat encompassed 10 north-to-south oriented blocks with
each block divided in to 24 lots measuring 50 x100 ft. each. Mr. and Mrs. Leary retained
an additional 15 acres of undeveloped land immediately north of the plat where John
Leary would eventually have a sumptuous home built.8
The earliest reference to residential development in the Phinneys Addition is the 1894
construction of a house for Horace C. Henry that was designed by Carl Siebrand.
However, this house was destroyed by fire in 1895. It is unclear whether it was on the
same site as the elaborate Tudor Revival house at 1117 Harvard Avenue N. that was
subsequently constructed for him in c.1901. H. C. Henry (1844 -1928) was an influential
early Seattle businessman and entrepreneur and the founder of the Henry Art Gallery. His
development of a sumptuous mansion that included an extensive 5-car garage and
eventually included a private art gallery was instrumental in attracting others established
businessmen and successful leaders of commerce in the rapidly expanding city to
construct houses in the immediate neighborhood.
The presence and ultimate design of Volunteer Park certainly stimulated residential
development in the area. The residential neighborhood areas surrounding Volunteer Park
were platted and residential development began to occur in tandem with various park and
transportation planning efforts at the turn of the 20th century. By 1901, the principal
electric trolley route from the downtown commercial district to the park and the
cemeteries the City Park Line following Broadway and Tenth Avenue N. - was
established in 1901. In addition to Phinneys Addition (1882) to the west, the other
nearby plats included James Moores Capitol Hill Divisions 1 and 3 (1902) to the south,
and Moores Capitol Hill Divisions 2 and 4 (1901 and 1902) to the east and Furths
Addition (1908). The neighborhoods current name, Capitol Hill, resulted from the
promotional efforts of its largest developer, James A. Moore, to relocate the state capital
Lake View Cemetery (just north of Volunteer Park) predates the park, having been established in 1872. A
consortium of Seattle's five G.A. R. Civil War posts established the Grand Army of the Republic
Cemetery on donated land to the north side of Lake View Cemetery in 1895.

John Leary (1827-1905) was a native of Saint John New Brunswick and successful lumber merchant who
settled in Seattle in 1869. He became involved with wide-ranging investments include commercial real
estate, railroad development, mining, banking, and publishing. He also served three terms as a member of
the Seattle city council (in 1873, 1875, and 1876) and was elected mayor in 1884. He and his first wife
Mary acquired a large land parcel at the north end of Capitol Hill at an unknown date said to have been
purchased with the intension of building a country home.

here from Olympia.9 Several dozen large houses bordering or facing the park were built
between 1902 and 1912, while Volunteer Park was being planned and constructed
according to plans developed in 1903 by the Olmsted Brothers. By 1908, this portion of
Capitol Hill was an established and fashionable district where lumber barons, bankers,
shipping tycoons and those newly rich from the Alaska gold fields had constructed
distinctive modern homes.
It was during this early period of intense residential development and promotion that the
January 18, 1903 edition of the Seattle Times reported Samuel Hill had purchased 20
acres of land in Phinneys Addition north of Highland Drive.10 Hill planned to build a
handsome and expensive residence for himself and had interested a number of other
prominent citizens who would also erect substantial homes with the intension of
creating one of the most desirable sections of the city. The news article indicated that
the properties would have exceptional views and that Hill would control the character of
residences that are to be built.
Not too surprisingly, the March 8, 1903 edition of the Seattle Times published a lengthy
article entitled North Broadway District - Much Discussion Regarding Proposed
Improvements. At the time Broadway Ave N. and Harvard Avenue N. from Prospect
Street north remained entirely ungraded perched along a hugged and precarious hillside.
The established electric carline running along Tenth Avenue N. to the cemetery angled
over to Federal Avenue (at Galer Street) and crossed the unplatted land of the LearyFerry Estate and the land that had been recently purchased by Samuel Hill and others.
The ungraded portions of Tenth Avenue then continued on to the Denny-Furman
Addition at North Capitol Hill (now known as Roanoke Park). The route that had to skirt
the estate was described as a popular summer drive despite the lack of improvements.
Hill and others appear to have actively petitioned the City to improve and extend Tenth
Avenue N. in order to create a good roadway (and legal right-of-way) along the full
length of the Tenth Avenue N. alignment, work that would have involved extensive
grading, bridge construction and landscape improvements. It may not have been an entire
coincidence that these efforts were being made at the same time that the Olmsted
Brothers were hired to begin the design of an innovative park and boulevard system.
After Mary Learys death in 1890, John Leary married Eliza Ferry and established a
business partnership with her brother, Pierre Ferry. The acreage retained by Leary to the
north of Phinneys Addition became known as the Leary-Ferry Estate. The Learys and
James J. Moore purchased 160 acres to the east and south of the park in July of 1900, he platted the land
and began grading and paving streets and installing utilities while heavily promoting land sales.
10
Until this time the land encompassing Blocks F,G,H,I &J appears to have remained undeveloped and in
the ownership of John Leary. Samuel Hill (1857-1931) was a native of Randall County, North Carolina and
the son-in-law of Great Northern Railroad tycoon James J. Hill. As an opposing attorney he won a number
of damage suits against the Great Northern RR, such that J.J. Hill offered him a position in his business
operations. By the end of the nineteenth century, Sam Hill was a wealthy and accomplished railroad
executive, financial manager, and investor. At the end of the 1890s, Hill began to sever his ties with the
Great Northern and with J.J. Hill's other companies, and to more fully establish himself in Seattle. He was
very active in local commerce and philanthropy and became an influential advocate for the Good Roads
Movement and world peace. In 1908-09 he built a monolithic concrete residence designed by Hornblower
& Marshall (Washington DC) at 814 E Highland Dr. in Block I Phinneys Addition. [Fig.54]

Ferrys planned and constructed two elaborate English Arts & Crafts influenced houses
designed by architects John Graham and Alfred Bodley and built between 1904 and 1907.
However, controversy grew related to the efforts of Hill and others to open Tenth Avenue
N. through the 15-acre estate and Leary attempted to have the City create a route around
rather than directly through the property. Ultimately, it was agreed that the city would be
allowed to extend Tenth Avenue N. through the property with a gradual curve to the east
such that it would avoid the planned houses to some extent. Thus, the eastern portion of
the estate became the Hollywood Addition (plat recorded 18 February 1904) and the City
was granted a R-O-W deed from Leary-Ferry Land Co. (and Samuel Hill who owned a
portion of the old estate grounds) for the extension of Tenth Avenue N. In turn,
residential development along Tenth Avenue N. (to north of Highland Drive) became
more feasible and desirable with the establishment of this new roadway.
Construction Site & Building History
The J. W. Bullock residence appears to have been one of the earliest residences to be
constructed in the Phinneys Addition along Tenth Avenue N. to the north of Highland
Drive. Prior residential development on Block G appears to have been limited due to the
lack of street improvements and the issues related to passage through the Leary-Ferry
Estate.
The 1905 and the 1912 Baists Real Estate Map indicates that a small wood-frame
structure was located on Lot 8 of Block G.11 It should be noted that by 1905 J.W. Bullock
was affiliated with and later owned S.L. Dowell & Co., a sand, gravel, wood and coal
merchants that operated a bunker at 1224 10th Ave., which appears to have been this
address. The frame building may have been associated with the bunker operation;
however, no permit or other records have been uncovered to confirm this contention. The
bunker located at 1224 10th Ave appears to be in use until late 1910, when the property
appears to have been retained by Bullock for the construction of his private residence.12
Lavina Russell Forbes and John W. Bullock were married in Tacoma, WA on May 15,
1907. Mrs. Bullock was from an early Walla Walla pioneer family and Mr. Bullock was a
successful coal merchant and entrepreneur.13 The 1910 US Census identified John W. and
Lavena (sic) Bullock as residing at 615 Minor Avenue between Cherry and James Street
on First Hill, near Mr. Bullocks principal business operation. Mrs. Bullock was not listed
in the Seattle Polks Directory until 1912 when they were both still residing at 615 Minor
Avenue, during the period when the subject house would have been under construction.
This wood frame structure is also clearly shown on the Baists Real Estate Map of 1912, which had yet
to be updated to identify the newly constructed subject residence and garage. [Graphic D]
12
In March 1912 the Seattle PI reported that J.W. Bullock had purchased Lot 9, Blk G Phinneys Addition
for $5,000. As the house is located on both Lot 8 & Lot 9, this is further evidence that he already owned
Lot 8. The article indicates that the purchase was for a corner lot possibly Lot 10, which he did also
own at his death, was part of this purchase.

Biographical information regarding J.W. and Lavina Bullock is included in a later section of this
document.

L.O. Menard was identified as the Applicant and as the Builder for the Permit#
111456 issued by the City of Seattle on March 3rd 1912 for owner J.W. Bullock to
Build a 2 story res 386 x 46ft at 1220 10th Ave No. Mr. Menard indicated that the
construction cost would be $10,000.[Graphic G] A cursive note in the upper corner of
the permit record appears to read L.O. Menard Arch however, the portions of the
form where the architects name and address would normally be listed were left blank. A
brief article published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Real Estate Section on March 17,
1912 stated L.O. Menard has completed plans for the erection of a modern residence at
1220 Tenth Avenue North for J.W. Bullock and noted that construction work would be
undertaken under Mr. Menards supervision. This reference further indicates that
Menard was both the architect and the builder. L.O. Menard was also identified as the
Applicant and as the Builder for the Permit# 113494 issued by the City of Seattle on
May 20th 1912 for owner J.W. Bullock to Build 2 sty frm garage 16 x 20 - this permit
record indicated that the construction cost for the garage would be $200.[Graphic H]
Little is known about the history of the actual construction work, other than the quality of
materials and craftsmanship exhibited by the extant finish carpentry and architectural
details. A structural member that was exposed during remodeling work undertaken in
1995 included an inscribed signature that could be made out to head Miles C. Fergeson
who according to City Directory and U.S. census research appears to have been a young
sawyer who participated in the construction. Whatever, construction appears to have
been undertaken very rapidly given the size of the house and extent of architectural
detail.
The Seattle Times edition published July 14, 1912 (Real Estate Section, pg.10) included
photographs of three newly constructed homes - entitled Two New Homes in Broadway
District and a Prize Garden that featured the J.W. Bullock house. [Graphic I] The
associated caption simply read Residence of former Councilman J.W. Bullock, 1220
Tenth Avenue, Cost $10,000. While the captions for other residences identified an
architect, no architect was cited. The photograph clearly shows the west and south
elevations indicating that the exterior of the house had been completed; however, there
are no landscape materials in place and a ladder can be seen at the second floor level
indicating work was still underway.
As designed and constructed by L.O. Menard for Mr. and Mrs. Bullock the new house
exhibited highly distinctive exterior features indicative of Mr. Menards skills and the
influence of both the Colonial Revival design mode and the popular American Four
Square house type. The design featured a prominent hipped roof form accentuated by
hipped dormers and 36 wide bracketed soffits along with brick cladding with Georgianinspired brick quoins and dentil brick details. Its highly stylistic character was further
embellished by a full width porch, ornate windows and an elaborate wooden rooftop
balustrade at the second floor balcony that extended above the entrance porch and the
conservatory wing. The formal first floor spaces included a reception hall with a complex
main stairwell that opened to a living room and a large dining room separated by tall
wing walls creating an organic flowing space indicative of the influence of Frank Lloyd
Wright and Prairie School. The public spaces also included a study and a large
Page 14

conservatory that featured ornate leaded and stained glass pocket doors. These interior
spaces were all distinguished by the extensive use of Golden Oak woodwork - an
indication of Mr. Menards skill as a first class carpenter following in the long tradition
of carpenter-designed dwellings. Distinctive natural oak running and standing woodwork
including a carved newel post was utilized throughout the formal spaces within the first
floor as well as the private spaces on the second floor level. The running trim including
tall baseboards, elaborate wainscoting, plate rails, picture rails and door and window caps
that were all executed in careful detail. All of the windows and doorways were trimmed
with highly distinctive fluted surrounds. Fireplaces with distinctive surrounds were also
constructed in the living room, main front bedroom and in a basement level billiard room.
The residence and garage were clearly illustrated on the Sanborn Insurance Map of
1917.[Graphic J] According to city directories, the Bullocks resided here together until
the early 1920s; they also appear to have established formal gardens to the south side of
the house. By 1920, Lavinas sister Nellie Russell Warner (wdo Edward) was residing
with Mr. and Mrs. Bullock at their 1220 10th Ave N. residence. J.W. and Lavina Bullock
were divorced in 1922 after an acrimonious and lengthy legal proceeding during which
Mrs. Bullocks attorney alleged that Mr. Bullock was concealing his full assets,
particularly his interests in Seattle First National Bank. Reportedly, the divorce
settlement included a provision that the subject house would be sold with the proceeds to
be equally divided; however, the house remained entirely in Mr. Bullocks ownership
until his death in 1936 and it is unclear how or if Mrs. Bullock was actually compensated.
She appears to have continued to reside at the house along with her sister until at least
late-1923 after which she resided at the Moore Hotel for a short period.
While Mr. Bullock retained ownership of the residence, he appears to have resided at the
Arctic Club before and after the divorce. During the mid-1920s he purchased Walldale
Farm, an extensive dairy complex, located three miles west of Fall City and is known to
have also resided there. The house may have been occupied by tenants as early as
January 1931 when the Seattle Times carried an advertisement for a Furnished Home at
this address describing it as a delightful house of 12 rooms that would make a real
home for a large family. The advertisement described its desirable location near St.
Nicholas School and St. Marks Cathedral and noted its hardwood floors throughout, 2
tiled bathrooms, billiard room and the two-car garage. A 1936 aerial photograph
indicated that the southern portion of Lot 9 adjacent to the house included an extensive
formal garden that would have been established by the Bullocks during their occupancy
of the property. After Mr. Bullocks death in 1936, probate records indicate that some
Bullock relatives were still using the house as their private residence.
Subsequent Ownership
After Mr. Bullocks death in 1936, the settlement of Mr. Bullocks estate became
acrimonious and involved lengthy and complicated legal proceedings between
beneficiaries and executors that were not entirely concluded until 1955. The sale and
future use of the house appears to have been complicated by not only the various estate
settlement issues but the fact that Mr. Bullock died in the midst of the Great Depression.
Page 15

During this period, several other large residences and mansions in the district were also
facing uncertain futures. After the death of Eliza Ferry Leary in 1935 the sumptuous
Leary Mansion was sold not to a new home owner but to the General Insurance
Company, which intended to build an office building on the site. It ended up being given
to the Red Cross for office use during WWII and after the war was acquired by the
Episcopal Archdiocese, who has continued to own and use it for office purposes.
Following the death of Samuel Hill in 1931, his distinctive house remained vacant for six
years until it was purchased and converted into a duplex. The Chapin H. Henry House
also went through great uncertainty. In 1934, six years after their father's death, Mr.
Henrys sons donated the mansion and extensive grounds to the City of Seattle in order to
create a branch library on the site in honor of their mother. However, depression era
economics limited the ability of the Library Board to fund the project or even maintain
the property. On April 9, 1935, the board voted to raze the mansion and buildings on the
site; the demolition began on November 9, 1936 and was completed by April 15, 1937.
Similar scenarios were played out throughout the district as the pool of purchasers of
large and sumptuous home was very limited. The August 1937 King County property
record card includes a photograph showing the west and south elevations of the
residence; it indicates that the site was landscaped with various flowering shrubs, the
retaining wall was in place and a metal pipe-supported awning may have been added at
the second floor balcony.[Graphic K]
The 1936 estate appraisal of the house and three lots (Phinneys Addition, Block G, Lots
8, 9 & 10) was $7,500.00; it is not known what the property sold for when it was
purchased from the estate by Lars R. Strand in early 1945. For a brief period in 1938 it
appears to have functioned as a kindergarten and primary school (Cymbra Daniels
Kindergarten and Primary School) where children ages three years old to third grade
level were given direction in creative work and play including basic music, drawing and
dancing. The large garden area to the south of the residence was used as a playground.
The house appears to have been occupied by tenants and/or functioned as a rooming
house for several years thereafter and is believed to have primarily housed male U.S.
Marine Reserve, Army and Navy members and Boeing Aircraft Co. employees during the
lead up to and period of WWII. During this era there was a serious housing shortage in
Seattle due to the influx of defense workers and many large homes were converted to
function in this manner. By May 1944, it appears that the house was occupied by
H.B. Neilson and his family; Mr. Neilson was unsuccessful in his request that it be
rezoned in order to permit it to used as a public dining room (Seattle Times, 5-11-44 pg.
4). Tax and permit records indicate it was purchased by Lars R. Strand in February 1945,
owned by Robert Abel (wife Grace) in c.1950 and by William A. Clark in c.1954. It
continued to function as a rooming house and sometime prior to 1962 a utility space the
basement was converted to function as a community kitchen and 1970 tax records show
that the house could accommodate six renters. Tax records also indicate that by 1983 a
separate apartment unit with a kitchen had been established at the basement level in the
former billiard room space.
Page 16

Since 1994, the property has been in the ownership of the current owners. Beginning in
1995 they undertook a series of projects that primarily involved remodeling private
portions of the interior and repairing and preserving the distinctive exterior features.
Interior work involved:
Remodeling and updating the kitchen and adjacent powder room. This work
included closing off and eliminating a short run of the main stair that had
connected the kitchen with the landing between the first and second floor levels.
Repair and reconstruction of a small original one-story rear porch at the east
elevation in order to create additional interior space.
Remodeling and expansion of a small bathroom at the attic/third floor level, work
which included the extension of the dormer at the south elevation.
All original first floor level formal living spaces and second floor level bedrooms,
plaster walls, running and standing trim, dining room cabinetry, doors and
hardware and historic lighting fixtures were otherwise repaired and preserved.
Established an Accessory Dwelling Unit at the basement level in space that
appears to have been a former Billiard Room.
Exterior work involved:
Construction and expansion of a former hipped dormer at the south elevation to
include a flat roof and new balustrade fashioned on the design of the original
second floor level balustrade.
Repair and in-kind reconstruction of portions of second floor level balustrade
Reconstruction of original entry porch deck area that included the replacement of
original damaged concrete flooring with fir decking.
Minor alteration of exterior portions of the rear porch at the east elevation to
include new doors designed to match original window units.
Installation of a new exit door at existing window well at the south elevation in
order to provide proper exiting from the basement level accessory dwelling unit.
All original windows, cladding materials and architectural details were otherwise
repaired and preserved
Site alterations that were also made by the current owner in the early 1990s are limited to
the construction of a brick masonry sound barrier wall that was constructed along the
west property line above the original stone retaining wall. This work was undertaken in a
manner to avoid any direct impact to the lower wall or the original central stairway and
path leading from the house to the sidewalk along Tenth Avenue E. Hedges were added
along the new wall and a wrought iron gates were also installed. The current ribbon
driveway, various paths around the house and new landscape features were also installed.
John W. Bullock (aka J.W. Bullock, John David William Bullock) Biographical
Information
John W. Bullock was reportedly born in Binghamton, New York on April 15, 1868 to
parents Seneca (aka William and/or S. Bullock) and Amelia (Cook) Bullock. His father
appears to have been a Civil War veteran who worked as a photographer in Broome and
Green Counties during the c.1870-1880 period. [Note: While still living with his parents,
Page 17

John W. Bullock was identified in the 1870 and 1880 U.S. Census as David.] He was
reportedly raised in Binghamton and is said to have attended Binghamton Academy.
In later life he stated that he was involved with general merchandizing and came to
Seattle in 1895 at the age of 27. He became active in the latter stages of the Cassiar Gold
Rush in interior Alaska where he operated a clothing store in Wrangell, Alaska. After
which he joined Klondike prospecting activity on the Yukon River and traveled between
Seattle and Alaska. He appears to be the J.W. Bullock who was on board a ship (S.S.
Robert Dollar) that was returning to Seattle at the time of the 1900 U.S. Census and who
listed Seattle as his home address. He also appears to have returned from Alaska to
Seattle again on August 17, 1902 aboard the Pacific Coast Company Cottage City and
was among dozens of passengers said to be carrying $50,000 in Klondike treasure. By
1902 he was listed in the Seattle Polks Directory as president of the Mutual Gold Mining
Union and resided at 425 Spring Street.
As of 1905, J.W. Bullock was employed by S.L. Dowell & Co., sand, gravel, wood and
coal merchants with main offices and yards at 610 10th Avenue (and bunkers at 1224 10th
Ave and 26th Ave S. & Dearborn). In May of 1907 J.W. Bullock married Lavina Russell
Forbes and by late 1907 he had acquired S.L. Dowell & Co. The company advertised
regularly in the Seattle Times and The Argus. Under his ownership the company became
one of largest coal dealers in Seattle as a wholesale and retail distributor of Renton coal
products. [Graphic F]. By 1909 the company operated at least three separate coal
bunkers located at 609 10th Ave near the James St. power house (First Hill), 26th Ave S.
& Dearborn (Rainier Valley) and Second Ave N & Boston ST (Queen Anne Hill).
Utilizing mule teams the firm hauled coal and wood to these hill top locations and sold
the products at downtown prices. By late 1910, the bunker location at 1224 10th Ave
may have still been in use; the property appears to have been retained by Bullock for the
construction of his private residence, the subject property located at a very similar
address.
J.W. Bullock served on the 16-member Seattle City Council in an at-large position for a
single (rather undistinguished) term during1910-1911. [Graphic E] Around 1916 Bullock
appears to have entered into a partnership with Seattle shipbuilder J.F. Duthie and
together they acquired interest in two famous Sierra Nevada mines - Bunker Hill and
Amador - at which time he hired Otto D. Rohlfs who reportedly managed and operated
the mines until c.1923.14 During this period he also acquired numerous other investment
interests. By 1919, city directories identify J.W. Bullock as in mining with offices at
718 Smith Tower.
J.W. and Lavina Bullock were divorced in 1922 after an acrimonious and lengthy legal
proceeding during which Mrs. Bullock attorney alleged that Mr. Bullock was concealing
his full assets, particularly his interests in Seattle First National Bank. While he retained
ownership of the residence at 1220 Tenth Avenue N., he resided at the Arctic Club after
the divorce. After the divorce, he appears to have purchased Walldale Farm which was
14
See Otto Rohlfs to Operate Gold Mines in California Seattle Times July 1, 1934, p.6.
Page 18

located three miles west of Fall City. [This extensive dairy farm complex was partially
built in 1919 - possibly for Wallace Duthie (Bullocks business partner J.F. Duthies son)
- and became well-known as Aldarra Farm after it was purchased from Bullocks estate
by William Boeing, Sr. in 1942.]
A vanity biography published in 1924 described Bullock as dealing in mining
investments without reference to his prior success as a coal merchant. J.W. Bullock
died on March 6, 1936 at Walldale Farm. His estate was said to be worth $450,000 and
included the residence at 1220 Tenth Avenue N. and an adjacent undeveloped lot. He was
survived by three beneficiaries: Cecil E. Crandall, a nephew who also resided near the
Fall City farm, Mrs. Ellen (Ella) Crandall Hall, a niece from Ravenna NY and Gilbert
(George) M. Bullock, a cousin residing in Seattle. In addition to the identification of
multiple financial investments, mining and land holdings the probate records include a
40-page inventory that enumerated of all of the buildings, furnishings and tools at
Walldale Farm. The settlement of Mr. Bullocks estate was also acrimonious and
involved lengthy and complicated legal proceedings that were not entirely concluded
until 1955.
Lavina Russell (Forbes) Bullock Biographical Information
Only limited biographical information regarding Lavina Bullock has been uncovered. She
was born in to a pioneer family in Walla Walla, WT ca.1868 and prior to her marriage to
J.W. Bullock she was married to an individual named Charles Forbes. She appears to
have married John W. Bullock in Tacoma, WA on May 15, 1907. The 1910 US census
identifies John W. and Lavena (sic) Bullock as residing at 615 Minor Avenue between
Cherry and James Street on First Hill. Mrs. Bullock was not listed in the Seattle Polks
Directory until 1912 when they were still residing at 615 Minor Avenue, during the
period when the subject house was under construction. By 1920, her sister Nellie Russell
Warner (wdo Edward) was residing with Mr. and Mrs. Bullock at their 1220 10th Ave N.
residence.
Lavina Bullock filed for divorce in July 1921 and the divorce decree was issued February
16, 1922. A Seattle Times article published February 17, 1922 stated that she had been
paid $50,000 in alimony and that her total settlement would be about $100,000 [Note:
This would be the equivalent to $1,350,000 in 2014 currency.] The divorce settlement
appears to have been very acrimonious as Mrs. Bullocks attorney argued that Mr.
Bullock was concealing the actual full amount of his assets; thus, her rightful share of
community property. Reportedly, the settlement included a provision that the subject
house would be sold with the proceeds to be equally divided; however, the house
remained entirely in Mr. Bullocks ownership until his death in 1936 and it is unclear
how or if Mrs. Bullock was actually compensated. She appears to have continued to
reside at the subject address along with her sister until at least late-1923 after which she
resided at the Moore Hotel. She was no longer listed in the Seattle Polks Directory after
1925 and no subsequent US Census records tied to her married name have been
uncovered. As part of the probate of Mr. Bullocks estate after his death in 1936, Mrs.
Bullock attempted to make a $19,000 claim against the estate related to the value of the
Page 19

house, which remained in the estate; however, her claim was denied. [Her name is
alternatively spelled Lavina and Lavinia however, Lavina appears to be the correct
legal spelling.]
Louis O. Menard - Biographical Information15
Louis Lou Menard (ca.1871-1945) was a Quebec-born carpenter who immigrated to
the United States via Detroit, Michigan with his wife Leontine (Velleaud) and their three
oldest children on January 7, 1905. After first living in St. Paul, Minnesota the family
settled in Seattle c.1907. L.O. Menard placed a series of advertisements that were
published in the Seattle Times in September 1907. The ads stated First class carpenter
desires position as foreman or head carpenter and noted that he could work on any kind
of building and make own plans indicating that he also possessed both drafting and
design skills. L.O. Menard was identified as the Applicant and as the Builder for the
Permit# 111456 issued by the City of Seattle on March 3rd 1912 for owner J.W. Bullock
to Build a 2 story res 386 x 46ft at 1220 10th Ave No. Mr. Menard identified his
address as Columbia (meaning Columbia City) and indicated that the construction cost
would be $10,000. A cursive note in the upper corner of the permit record appears to read
L.O. Menard Arch however, the portions of the form where the architects name and
address would normally be listed were left blank. A brief article published in the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer Real Estate Section on March 17, 1912 stated L.O. Menard has
completed plans for the erection of a modern residence at 1220 Tenth Avenue North for
J.W. Bullock and noted that construction work would be undertaken under Mr.
Menards supervision. This reference further indicates that Menard was both the
architect and the builder. L.O. Menard was also identified as the Applicant and as the
Builder for the Permit# 113494 issued by the City of Seattle on May 20th 1912 for
owner J.W. Bullock to Build 2 sty frm garage 16 x 20 [which also noted Will be 3
from lot line]. This permit record indicated that the construction cost for the garage
would be $200.
There is no record of Louis O. Menard or his family members in the 1910 U.S. Census;
however, this may be due to a spelling or clerical error. He was identified in the 1920
U.S. Census as a carpenter const and was residing at 1245 16th Ave SW with his
wife and seven of their eleven children. One of his children 16 year old Alexander
was identified as a carpenter helper. A search of the Seattle Times digital archives did
not find any other references to specific projects attributed to Louis O. Menard, either as
a builder, contractor or architect.16 Mr. Menard identified himself as an architect on a
Attempts to uncover more extensive biographical information regarding Louis O. Menard have been
unsuccessful. These efforts included contacting his former church and parish organizations and outreach to
local residents with the Menard surname.
16
A smaller house that is very similar in form, layout, and design character to the subject house is located
at 2836 Harvard Avenue E. in the Roanoke Park neighborhood. [Figs.58-60] Limited research indicates
that it was constructed in 1908 for P.E. Wentworth (per DPD Microfilm Permit #A7821). Mr. Wentworth
was a real estate developer who is known to have constructed several other homes in Roanoke Park. The
permit record does not identify a builder or contractor. Additional field investigation and research could
reveal whether the Harvard Avenue house is associated with Mr. Menard and, if so, whether Mr.
Wentworth may have worked with him on other projects.

Declaration of Intention that was submitted to the U.S. Department of

Labor/Immigration and Naturalization Service in October 1936. He and Leontine raised
eleven children to adulthood, most of whom continued to reside in Seattle and Tacoma.
When he died at the age of 74 an obituary article published in the Seattle Times (October
19, 1945) noted that he was a retired building contractor who had resided in Seattle for
37 years. His residence at the time of his death was 3056 39th Ave. SW. He had
previously resided at 9245 16th Ave SW. Leontine Menard died in March 1942 at the age
of 72.
The Tradition of Carpenter Designed & Built Architecture
Carpenter-designed and built architecture is a particularly important part of the
development of American Architecture -- particularly related to the building of the
American West. Louis O. Menard is representative of the many practical builders
carpenters, house-wrights, masons, and mechanics who constructed and determined the
design of a significant amount of our nations domestic architecture from its earliest
settlement. Most architectural history studies focus on a liner progression of high-style
building designs and their influence on major architects and authors of architectural
literature that would in turn disseminate styles. However, in fact the great majority of
our built environment falls within a diverse category that is the direct result of the
influence of popular stylist design trends and traditional building practices principally
the buildings designed and built by practical builders.17
Dating back to the Colonial-era, American architectural designs had been essentially
produced by carpenters, house-wrights, various craftsman and dilettante gentleman
designers; it would not be until the latter half of the 19th C. that formally trained
architects (most of whom were either foreign born or trained) would begin to play a
broad role in shaping high style residential design and perpetuating popular
architectural movements. The typical 19th C. carpenter-builder (mason-builder) would
have been trained and gained his design skills via an apprenticeship system where he
would have worked closely with master craftsmen and their clients in the design and
construction process. They would have been guided by popular architectural guides,
carpenter handbooks and local building traditions given the region, social environment
and economic influences. Even during the Colonial era some formal training in
architecture and instruction in drawing would have been available to ambitious carpenters
and builders and by the late 19th C. a myriad of published design and carpentry books,
trade journals and builders handbooks as well as elaborate pattern books would have be
readily available for both training, estimating, design and contractual purposes.
Such carpenters may have been initially trained as joiners, sawyers, woodcarvers or
furniture-makers crafts that provided exposure to varied building forms and
architectural features and details. During the 17th and 18th centuries a skilled carpenter
could ascend to a master builder or housewright if he also possessed the required
entrepreneurial initiative and management skills. Well into the 19th C. the terms

Georgia Press, 1986.

Page 21

architect- carpenter - builder were virtually interchangeable and such distinctions

had little meaning as housewrights and carpenters who were contacted to construct a
building would provide the required drawings and oversee the construction.18
The work of building design became professionalized in the 19th C. as European
architectural training gained authority and formal architectural degree programs were
established at various Eastern universities; however, the influential role of skilled
carpenters and practical builders continued well into the 20th C. It was not until the early
20th C. with the institution of architectural registration requirements that there became a
formal distinction between architects and skilled practical builders individuals who
were entirely capable of undertaking both the design and the construction of a building.
Of particular note is the fact that there were very few architects with formal academic
training practicing in Seattle until after 1900.19 Thus, individuals like Mr. Menard selfdescribed as a first class carpenter who had the skills to work on any kind of building
and make own plans played a significant part in shaping the architecture of Seattle and
this role ought to be recognized.
