Harlan Thomas Villa
SOLD FOR $1,750,000
1401 8th AvENUE WEST, Seattle
Built for his own family by celebrated Seattle architect Harlan Thomas (who also designed the iconic Sorrento Hotel and the Corner Building of Pike Place Market, among many other Seattle landmarks), the residence embodies the optimistic, worldly spirit of the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, which first put Seattle on the national map as a commercial and cultural hub. The design was influenced by Thomas’s world travels and his professional experiences and by the site, its topography, and its views. For the lover of architectural history, the building offers an unusual opportunity to take custody of an architectural treasure, and for the preservationist, the option of respectfully restoring it to its original glory.
