The Rich Life on Capitol Hill
Have your cake and gossip too, as we visit Seattle's only residential Landmark District, featuring a wealth of early 20th century architecture. Harvard/Belmont is a veritable portfolio of the finest designers of the day: Charles Platt of New York and Hornblower and Marshall of Washington, D.C. as well as prominent area architects, including John Graham, Sr., Charles Bebb and Carl Gould, Kirtland Cutter, Andrew Willatsen, Arthur Loveless, Freed Anhalt and A. H. Albertson. They provided innovative plans, a high level of craftsmanship and beautifully landscaped courtyards, which gives this neighborhood its distinctive character.
This tour lasts approximately 2 hours and begins on Capitol Hill, at the entrance to the circular driveway at the Merrill Court Townhomes, 901 Harvard Ave E. Advance registration is strongly encouraged; walk-ups are limited to space available. Tour is $15 in advance/$20 day of.
