First Hill Neighborhood Tour
September 17, 2014 |
Join Historic Seattle for a guided walking tour of historic First Hill with the participation of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, the Frye Art Museum, St. James Cathedral, and the Sorrento Hotel. This neighborhood was the location of private clubs, important religious institutions, and swank hotels. It was also the city’s premier residential enclave from the 1890s through the first decades of the 1900s— home to mayors, judges, industrialists, timber barons, and art collectors. Tour stops include The Frye Art Museum, St. James Cathedral, H.H. Dearborn House, Stimson-Green Mansion, Piedmont Hotel (now Tuscany Apartments), First Baptist Church, Fire Station No 25, and the Sorrento Hotel, providing insights into a century of architecture and interior design, as well as a lively look at the life and times of First Hill at the turn of the 20th century.
Wednesday, September 17th, 1:30 - 4:30 pm
Meet at Frye Art Museum, 704 Terry Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104
