| Building Notes | The Pigott residence's eclectic combination of stone and stucco siding, exposed truss work, round tower at entryway, and other historicizing details are characteristic of J. Lister Holmes' early revival-inspired designs. Holmes was one of a handful of Northwest architects who successfully crossed from the Beaux-Arts design tradition to the International Style. He studied civil engineering at the University of Washington then transferred to the architecture program at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating 1913. He returned to Seattle in 1920, briefly worked with local firms Bebb & Gould, Schack, Young & Myers, and B. Marcus Priteca, before setting up his own office in 1922. Holmes was recognized in the 1930s for his residential designs, which blended the International Style with distinctly regional vernacular elements. |
