Historic Seattle's Role:

Fourteenth Avenue Houses / HistoricSeattle Archives

In 1977-78, Historic Seattle purchased three of five houses on the west side of Queen Anne Hill after they were identified as historically and architecturally significant. The exterior facades of the houses feature angled bays, rectangular towers, porches with milled brackets, turned posts, and scallop shingles. The houses, with protective easements, were re-sold to private individuals

Protective easements ensure the exteriors of these houses will remain intact and original to their turn of the century construction.
