Scope and content
ca. 1935. "Haddaway Hall," the Tudor style estate of John Philip Weyerhaeuser and his second wife Anne. The brick structure was completed in 1923 from a design by Cleveland architects F.B. Meade & James Hamilton. It was built at a cost of $100,000 on the site of the former Allen C. Mason residence, a home that was later used as part of Whitworth College. The home and gardens covered 8 acres. The gardens were designed by famed landscape architects Frederick Jr. and Charles Olmsted. After the death of J.P. Weyerhaeuser in 1936, it was sold to George G. Franklin, of the Franklin Food Store chain, for $26,000 and back taxes. Property values had been greatly devalued by the Depression. The home is now the location of the Northwest Baptist Seminary. It is on the city, as well as the national registry. (TNT 5/30/1923; Landmarks Vol.2. No. 4 "Tacoma's Weyerhaeuser residence: its various historical significances" by William Collins)
