Scope and content
ca. 1935. John Philip and Anna Weyerhaeuser estate "Haddaway Hall", F.B. Meade and James Hamilton, of Cleveland, Ohio, Architects; Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., Charles Olmsted & T.B. Morrow, Landscape Architects, 1922. View of tree lined drive and neighboring house. The drive enters the estate from Stevens Street and curves past the greenhouses, walled garden and English garden. The landscape design by the Olmsted brothers is probably the most notable design element about the home. The structure was also built at the peak of the big house period, when the Pacific Northwest saw most of the affluent construction in its cities. Shortly thereafter, homes of this magnitude were considered ostentatious, and as the Depression loomed, impossible for an individual family to maintain. (TNT 5/30/1923; Landmarks Vol.2.
