| Building Notes | Elizabeth Ayer, the first female graduate of the University of Washington's architecture program, helped fashion the residential architecture of many Seattle neighborhoods in the mid-twentieth century. In the early 1920s, after a brief time spent in New York, she returned to Seattle and joined the firm of Ivey & Riley. Edwin J. Ivey provided Ayer with critical support and guidance that would shape her approach to domestic architecture. Notwithstanding the growing popularity of modernism in the 1930s, Ayer integrated modern needs with traditional forms and throughout her career embraced historical styles. When Ayer and fellow UW alum Rolland Lamping took over the firm after Ivey's unexpected death in 1940, Ayer continued to employ the conventional architectural details used in her earlier Colonial Revival designs in contrast to the many modernist designs popular in the area after World War II. The Dent residence's symmetrical design, axial entrance located under a projecting central pavilion, hipped-roof with balustrade, sash windows, and circular entrance hall show a sophisticated combination of Federal and Georgian influences. |
