| Building Notes | Born and educated in England, Edward Osborn arrived in Seattle about 1910 and worked as a delineator for several well-known architectural firms. From 1920-1930, he occasionally worked as an independant designer. Osborn was known especially for his watercolor renderings. This drawing shows an early, decorative design that was later scaled back. In the 1950s, the Commodore Apartments and Duchess Apartments were renovated and joined together to provide student housing for married couples on the University of Washington campus. |
