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)

ca. 1935. "Haddaway Hall," the grand home of J.P. and Anne Weyerhaeuser can be seen peeking over the sloping grounds of the great estate. The home was designed to resemble an English Manor. The gardens were designed by renowned landscape architects Frederick Law Jr. and Charles Olmsted. The park was intended as "an uplifting alternative to the crushing inhumanity of the industrial city." The home was completed in 1923 at the astronomical cost of $100,000. The completion of the grounds and interiors were estimated to bring that cost to 1/2 million. The home is built of brick with wood accents. It has 16 principal rooms, most having sweeping views of Commencement Bay and the surrounding mountains.

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)
