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.

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.

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)

ca. 1935. John Philip and Anna Weyerhaeuser estate "Haddaway Hall", F.B. Meade and James Hamilton, of Cleveland, Ohio, Architects. The famed Olmsted brothers were the landscape architects. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. is widely recognized as the father of landscape architecture. A few of his most recognized designs are New York City's Central Park and the US Capital grounds in Washington, D.C. View of the walled rose garden at Haddaway Hall. Olmsted's design for the Weyerhaeusers consisted of 42 detailed drawings of all aspects of the 5 1/2 acre grounds. The full intent of the landscape plan was never achieved; the family sold the house before the topiary gardens were planted. Tennis courts now occupy the topiary garden site. The kitchen garden, rose garden and peripheral landscape were completed. ("Tacoma's Weyerhaeuser residence: its various historic significances" by William Collins in "Landmarks" Vol.2, No. 4)
