Harvard Belmont District: The Rich Life on Capitol Hill

Have your cake and gossip too as we visit Seattle’s only residential Landmark District featuring a wealth of upscale, early 20th century architecture. Harvard/Belmont is a veritable portfolio of the finest designers of the day: Charles Platt of New York and Hornblower and Marshall of Washington, D.C., as well as prominent area architects, including John Graham, Sr., Charles Bebb and Carl Gould, Kirtland Cutter, Andrew Willatsen, Arthur Loveless, Freed Anhalt, and A. H. Albertson. On this tour, you will see innovative plans, a high level of craftsmanship and beautifully landscaped courtyards, which give this neighborhood its distinctive character.

This tour meets at the entrance to the circular driveway of the Merrill Court Townhouses, 912 Harvard Avenue E, Seattle, WA 98101.
