| Building Notes | Ellsworth Storey, one of Seattle's most popular architects, graduated from the University of Illinois in 1903 and moved to Seattle. Storey was perhaps the first Seattle architect to directly integrate local materials with architectural design. This practice, later known as "regionalism" was highly influential in Seattle architecture of the middle- and late-twentieth century. Storey's published drawings for the Harry E. Woolley residence exhibits a restrained interpretation of the Italian Renaissance Palazzo type. Set within a large garden, the residence's ground floor venetian windows were designed to take advantage of the site's open landscape. |
