| Abstract
|
:
|
"Beginning with a historical overview, Classic Houses of Seattle invites curious homeowners, neighbors, visitors, and anyone interested in preserving Seattle's architectural treasures, into dozens of homes from all over the city that exemplify the area's major architectural styles, including Victorian, Classical and Tudor Revivals, Craftsman, Four-Square, Mission, and International Style. It is a behind-the-scenes tour that also introduces the first men and women who lived in the houses and the architects and builders who created them. A special section explains how to research a home's history in the region.
