Landmark Status

February 5, 2014

3206 Harvard Avenue E, constructed i n 1924

General Physi cal Descri pti on

The building at 3206 Harvard Avenue E, which is referred currently referred to as the A.W.
Larson Building, (after its current and longtime ownership) was originally called the
Harwood Apartments. The building was constructed in 1924 and is largely in its original
configuration. The structure is a two-story mixed-use structure with retail on the ground
floor and residential apartments on the 2
nd
Floor.

The site is approximately 8,450 SF in area and is essentially triangular with public rights-of-
way on three sides. The buildings primary frontage is on Harvard Avenue E. to the west,
with a narrow southern faade facing and setback 10' from the E. Martin Street right-of-way
(Fig. 2). E. Martin St. is an un-opened right-of-way with a concrete public stair. The
building fronts on an alley to the east and abuts the Union Bay Lofts apartments to the
north. There is an approximate 20' grade change up from the Harvard Avenue E. frontage
to the alley on the east. Along the alley and a portion of the Martin Street R.O.W. there is a
steep vegetated slope, with a retained areaway provide access along the side of and behind the
structure. An elevated wooden walkway bridges the areaway and slope and provides access
from the second floor to the alley (Fig. 14).

Substantially in its original configuration, the A.W. Larson (Harwood) Building is a two-
story wood frame structure with veneer brick masonry and terracotta tile on the west faade
and a portion of the south faade, the remainder of which is stucco. The east faade is
primarily wood bevel siding above a concrete base. The ground floor is approximately
4,110 gross square feet, consisting of small retail shops, the residential lobby and utility
rooms. The original retail tenants included piano sales, various cafes and a grocery store.
There are currently several retail tenants in the building: Napolitano Day Spa, Rick Baye
Fabrics, and the Patrick Howe Art Gallery.

The second floor is approximately 5,830 gross square feet and has 12 rental apartments, with
a small wooden garage and utility structure that opens onto the alley (Fig. 14). The
residential apartments average approximately 500 net square feet and are currently occupied
on a month-to-month basis.

Nei ghborhood Context

The A.W. Larson Building is located in the Portage Bay/Roanoke Neighborhood and is also
associated with the Eastlake Ave. business corridor leading from South Lake Union to the
University Bridge (Attachment A). The surrounding zoning is for commercial and
multifamily residential (NC2P-40') development, with low-rise multi-family residential (L-
3) zoning directly to the east.

The I-5 ship canal bridge is directly across E Avenue from the site (Fig. 28, Fig. 11).

The adjacent properties to the north along Eastlake Avenue have recently been redeveloped
with four-story mixed-use residential and commercial structures. The properties to the east
contain a mixture of older converted houses and relatively recent low-rise apartments.

Archi tectural Descri pti on

Fl oor Pl ans
The A.W. Larson building covers approximately 70% of the site in a generally triangular
plan. On the west, the building is directly on the Harvard Ave. property line. The south
faade is setback 10' from the Martin Street R.O.W. On the east, the plan is irregular, with
a setback ranging from 16' to 36'.

The ground floor plan is divided into six unequal floor-through retail spaces accessed from
Harvard Avenue E (Attachment G). These small retail spaces flank a small, central
residential lobby. This lobby is set in a recess at an angle that matches the geometry of the
rest of the structure, aligned with the north/south axis of the alley. The lobby entrance is
lined with mottled ceramic tile and a mosaic tile floor and is substantially in its original
condition (Fig. 18). The interiors of the retail spaces have been continuously altered over
time. No original mercantile casework or fittings remain. The retail interiors are primarily
painted drywall partitions and ceiling with various finishes on the floors.

The second floor is accessed from the central stair leading up from the lobby. This stair is
constructed of wood with painted wood baluster and rails with linoleum treads (Fig. 16).
There are twelve apartments along an internal, double-loaded corridor, with a secondary exit
corridor leading to an elevated wood walkway leading to the alley. The hallway has painted
wood wainscoting and plain wood trim at unit doors, carpeted floors and is in substantially
the original configuration (Fig. 19). The residential apartment units are substantially in their
original condition, with plain painted fir trim and hardwood strip floors in living areas and
tile floors in baths. Walls and ceiling are painted plaster and drywall. Fixtures and
appliances have been replaced, wall beds have been removed along with other incidental
alterations over time.

West Faade
The primary faade of the structure is approximately 25' tall and 112' wide (Fig. 3). On the
ground floor, it is divided into seven unequal bays, with three retail storefronts flanking a
central residential lobby. The bays are divided by terracotta-clad columns. The retail
storefronts are wood and glass. The primary faade materials are a buff common and white
glazed brick veneer and glazed terracotta tiles, with white glazed brick trim courses. The
cornices are made of sheet metal. Windows are metal clad wood single-hung sash with
divided light upper sash. The original structure, as depicted in the attached photograph (Fig.
1) from the Washington State archives shows a low balustrade (presumably terracotta) and
triangular central parapet, storefronts with divided light transom windows and awnings.

The Department of Neighborhoods survey describes the building thus:

Summary from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Survey:

This two-story apartment/commercial building is clad in buff brick with extensive
terra cotta ornament. It is long, with 114 feet of frontage, and angled to match the
curve of the street. Courses of cream-colored terra cotta tiles run below the cornice
and above the first floor. Courses of white bricks run above and below the second
floor windows. The second floor windows have 9/1 double-hung sash,
predominantly in pairs. The south elevation is clad in stucco. The four storefronts
are largely intact, with terra cotta bulkheads, wood doors and display windows with
transoms. The stores are separated by pilasters of tan terra cotta tile with bands of
white tiles. The main entry to the apartments, in the center of the main faade, has
original double doors of oak. The entry area is framed by elaborate terra cotta, with
a dentil cornice, modillions and rose medallions. The floor in the entry is white
hexagonal tile, while the wall is decorated with pale green and red tile. The building
was once capped by a terra cotta balustrade, which has been removed.

West Faade Alterations
In general, the Department of Neighborhoods (DON) survey description quoted above is
accurate. However, there are inaccuracies or omissions that give the impression that the
faade is more intact than the description implies. There has been continuous alteration and
replacement of faade elements.

The central pediment inscribed with Harwood Building was removed at some
unknown time prior to the current ownership (1959) (This is not noted in the
DON survey report.)

The storefronts were replaced in the 1960s, including the reconfiguration of the
divided light transoms. (This is not consistent with the DON survey report)

The original double-hung 9/1 window sash was replaced in the 1990s with
aluminum clad single-hung wood sash of a similar pattern
2
. The east faade windows
were likewise replaced with 1/1 sash. (This is not consistent with the DON survey
report).

The roll-up canvas awnings have been removed and have been partially replaced with
fixed awnings at the north storefronts. (This is not noted in the DON survey
report)

South Faade
The western portion of the second floor south faade is a continuation of the west faade,
with buff brick on the second floor with terracotta and white brick courses (Fig. 8). At the
ground floor, a single bay of wood storefront returns along the south faade from the western
street frontage. The remainder of the south faade is finished in sanded stucco, along with
the eastern 10' of the second floor. The eastern portion of the south faade is partially below
the grade of E. Martin Street and obscured by vegetation. H Medallions are terra cotta,
approximately 9" x 9" with a raised capital H in 3 locations. (Fig. 7)

Alterations to the South Faade are similar to those of the west faade noted above. The
replacement windows are true divided lights.

East Facade
The east faade and the utility building are clad in painted wood bevel siding with plain
painted wood trim at windows and doors over a concrete base at the lower floor adjacent to
the perimeter areaway (Fig. 10). Windows are 1/1 aluminum-clad wood single-hung sash.
The east faade is viewed from the alley with the faade primarily at or below eye-level and
partially obscured by vegetation.

There are no apparent or documented alterations to the east faade other than the
replacement of the windows, the rebuilding of the exterior walkway and trellis and changes
due to ad hoc maintenance.

North Faade
The majority of the north faade is a party wall with the adjacent Union Bay Lofts building.
A second floor setback for a light well exposes a portion of the north faade and is visible
from the alley. The exposed portion of faade has wood bevel siding, single-hung windows
and metal cap flashing similar to the east faade.

Statement of Si gni fi cance

The A. W. Larson Building was constructed in 1924 in what is known as the Portage Bay-
Roanoke North Capitol Hill Neighborhood. It is also linked with the Eastlake
neighborhood (e.g. DON Survey), but is not within that neighborhoods designated
boundaries.

The buildings location (as well as its buff color) at the intersection of Harvard Avenue and
Eastlake Avenue make the structure highly visible to a traveler from Capitol Hill or along
Eastlake Avenue going north to the University Bridge, particularly since the demolition of
surrounding structures as part of, or subsequent to, the construction of I-5.

The building is similar to many two-story mixed-use commercial buildings built within the
same decade, when masonry primary facades with neoclassical detailing applied to a simple
masonry and wood structure was common practice. However the quality of detailing of the
masonry and terra cotta primary facades is unusual. The ornate residential entrance and the
buff-colored glazed brick are notable. As noted above, although there have been changes to
the parapet, storefronts and residential windows, the masonry and terracotta work are
substantially intact. The fact that the faade is distinctly asymmetrical is odd for a neo-
classical structure, and seems to imply that the ground floor was customized to fit specific
tenants, although this is speculation. The original tenants are not known. The first known
tenants per the 1928 Seattle House and Street Directory are Smiths Decorative Shop and
Petes Supply.

Ownershi p Hi story

The A.W. Larson (Harwood) Building was constructed in 1924. Per the Department of
Neighborhoods survey, the original name may have been a combination of the original
owner (Wood) and the location on Harvard Avenue. A pediment with Harwood Building
inscribed was demolished mid-20
th
Century. The building ownership has currently been
within the Larson family for 50+ years.

Archi tect or Bui l der

The architect according to the original building permit record and the Seattle Historical
Resources survey is J.M. Barnes, which is a misspelling or erroneous transcription for F.M.
Barnes
3
. Frederick M. Barnes was born in 1867 and was an architect and builder in Seattle
from approximately 1907 to 1927. The first evidence of his business appears in records in
1907. In the earlier years of his practice Barnes advertised to design and build houses for a
cash down payment. Classifieds from 1907 to 1909 in the Seattle Daily Times indicate
Barnes would take commissions and build to suit you on monthly payments and
percentage plan.
4

A search of periodical records reveals that Barnes was architect of record for a three-story
apartment building planned for the intersection of Sixth and Seneca in downtown Seattle in
1909, current location of the Crowne Plaza Hotel
5
(Fig 53). This apartment building was
built in 1909 for owner Lydia A. Price at a cost of $55,000. Originally named the Phillips
Apartments, and later called The Metropolitan the concrete building also had classical
details and the entrance and a balustrade at the roofline (similar to the Harwood Building),
as well as bay windows alternating with single hung windows. The building contained
twenty apartments which were described as thoroughly modern in an article noting the
buildings sale for $100,000 in 1913, just two years after its construction.
6

Another of Barnes multi-family projects was a 12-unit frame apartment house at 119 24
th

Ave. in the Central District
7
. This structure no longer exists.

Barnes also is also noted as the architect for single-family craftsman-style houses throughout
various neighborhoods in Seattle. The home at 5220 19
th
Ave NE was designed by Barnes
and built by H. Willy for Mrs. A. Campbell with a construction cost of $2,750 in 1913
8

(Fig. 54). This 2 story craftsman home has wood shingle siding and a gable roof. A two-
story house now a 5-unit apartment buildingat 1133 8
th
Ave W was also designed by
Barnes in 1915 for H. Joslyn at a cost of $3,500 (Fig. 55). The craftsman-style home also has
classical columns at the entrance and wood construction and siding.

Given the prevalence of the wood craftsman style homes of the area this building type was
likely the foundation and mainstay of Barnes practice. He did design in 1927, late in his

"
Resources surveyed spell F.M. Barnes name as J.M. Barnes, F.W. Barnes, and F.M. Baines. Perhaps hard-
to-read penmanship is to blame for the frequent misspellings.

career, an unusual style home in the neighborhood of Queen Anne. The Historic Resources
Survey for Seattle shows that builder and architect is unknown for the structure at 1622 1
st

Ave N.; however, the current owner of the house is in possession of the original blueprints
for the house, which are all signed as the work of F.M. Barnes
9
(Fig. 56).

The stucco home with red clay roof prominently features arched faade windows, plaster
ornaments and a wood door set within a twisted arch and columns.
10
Spanish/Eclectic-style
stucco residences appear dotted throughout the city, but seems particularly unusual for this
neighborhood. The home has been updated, but stylistic elements appear intact. This is the
latest known work found as attributed to Barnes.

Barnes does not appear to be a prolific or important architect in Seattles history. He is not
mentioned in the resource material about significant Seattle architects or history, whereas
notable residential architects of the period Arthur Loveless and Frederick Anhalt feature
prominently in resource materials.
11
While Barnes does not have the notoriety of others
practicing at the time, he seem to have found steady commissions in Seattles expansion in
residential housing, both multi and single-family housing.

Other interesting details regarding Barnes work include his late-career pursuit of an
architects license and a patent. Although the majority of Barnes known works appear to
have been built prior to 1925, Barnes did not take the state exams until late 1924, and was
not a state-licensed architect until 1925
12
In addition to being a builder and architect Barnes
is also an inventor, with having a patent on a service cabinet in 1924. This service cabinet is
to be used in the walls of dwellings or the like for receiving merchandise
13
. (Fig 57).

F.M Barnes died on February 2, 1936 at the age of 68 leaving behind a wife and a grown son
and daughter.

Associ ated Hi stori cal Fi gures or Events

The structure has housed many small businesses, including grocery stores and meat markets,
cafes, piano sales and currently houses a hair salon, fabric store and artists studio. The
second floor has been consistently occupied as leased residential apartments.

Research of the Polk Directory and Seattle Times archives did not reveal any associated
historic figures as occupants or events at the buildings location. A list of history of the
buildings commercial tenants is included as Attachment F. A search of each of the
residential tenants listed in the Polk directories in the periodical and internet sources revealed
only anecdotal information concerning motor vehicle violations of one tenant
14
as well as a
story about an eccentric long-time barber
15
. Periodicals cite several obituaries, divorce records
and motor vehicle accidents of the tenants; however, no historically significant persons or
events appear to have been associated with the Larson Building.

Survey of Si mi l ar Bui l di ngs

In order to assess whether the Larson Building represents a unique or diminishing
architectural or urban design resource, we surveyed the neighborhoods surrounding the
subject building, particularly the Portage Bay/Roanoke/North Capitol Hill, the Eastlake and
the Capitol Hill neighborhoods. We found that there are a substantial number of structures
of similar age and general architectural style and/or uses within this area.

In particular, we found similar Beaux Arts/Neo-Classical residential buildings with masonry
veneer facades with elaborate terracotta entrance surrounds and details. Given the rigorous
platting of these neighborhoods into regular lots, these structures are consistently rectangular
on their primary elevation with regularly arranged punched fenestration. These buildings are
shown in Figures 34 through 37.

We also surveyed for low-rise (two or three-story) residential apartment buildings over a
ground floor of commercial/retail storefronts. We found a number of relevant buildings in
the local area. These buildings are shown in Figures 38 through 42.

In addition, we found a large number of similar veneer masonry apartment buildings with
terracotta or cast stone entrances and details differing only in the applied architectural style.
(e.g. Neo-gothic, Moderne, etc.). These buildings are shown in Figures 43 through 47.

To assess whether the Larson Building, as a two-story structure with residential over
commercial, is an uncommon or rare archetype in Seattle, we surveyed similar neighborhood
commercial districts. These neighborhoods are approximately the same age and scale as
Eastlake/Roanoke area. Observations from the survey indicate that, as a building type, the
Larson Building model was at the time and remains quite common, with replacement by
