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.

The home was built on the site of the Allen C. Mason residence and the former location of Whitworth College. The home cost $100,000 to construct in 1922. The total 8 acre estate, with the completed landscaping and interiors of the home, was estimated to have cost 1/2 million dollars. It was sold after the Weyerhaeusers' deaths in 1936 to George G. Franklin, of Franklin Food Stores, for $26,000 plus back taxes. The Franklins renamed the home Seamount. The family did not live there long after repeated kidnapping threats. The home was later occupied by Tacoma Catholic College for girls and convent (from 1942-1968), University of Puget Sound Honors dormitory and the current tenant, the Northwest Baptist Seminary (1974-present.) The home is on the city and national registry of historical homes. (TNT 5/30/1923; Landmarks Vol.2. No. 4 "Tacoma's Weyerhaeuser residence: its various historical significances" by William Collins)
