ca. 1935. The grounds of the Weyerhaeuser estate "Haddaway Hall", built for John Philip Weyerhaeuser and his second wife Anna Mary Holbrook. Lawn slope and evergreen trees. J. P. Weyerhaeuser was the president of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. His second wife was a very strong-will individual who supplied much of the driving force behind the family. The name of the estate derived from J.P. Weyerhaeuser's saying that his wife always "had her way." She asked for a great home and gardens in the style of an English manor. The 5 1/2 acre gardens were designed by the Olmsted brothers, Charles and Frederick Law Jr., and planted by T.B. Morrow. Fully grown trees were transplanted to replicate the English countryside. The home and estate were built at the turning point of Tacoma's great houses. At the time of J.P. Weyerhaeuser's death in 1936, the house was put up for sale; his descendants feeling that it was too ostentatious and hard to maintain. (TNT 5/30/1923; Landmarks Vol.2.
