| Building Notes | The Beezer Brothers, twins Louis Beezer and Michael J. Beezer, arrived in Seattle in 1907 and quickly established an architectural practice that became one of the most extensive regional practices headquartered in Seattle at the time. Throughout the 1910s and 1920s they had commissions along the west coast as far north as Alaska and as far south as Arizona. Competency and functionality were the hallmarks of the Beezer Brother's designs and, although this firm is probably best known for its architectural contributions to the Catholic community of Seattle and Washington state, the variety of work in their early Seattle practice was quite wide. As well as serving as project architects, the Beezer Brothers also acted as construction managers for their numerous commissions, which included civic improvment projects, religious structures, commercial and residential buildings. Their design for the Oliver D. Fisher residence is an excellent example of the influence the Arts and Crafts movement, |
