The elegant residence being bail: for
n. v. B. Stacy, Esq. on the corner OF
Third and Marion streets Is beginning
to attract the atssu;iou and admiration
Of al passsrs by. II gives promise OF
being. when completed, one Of the very
finest buildings in Seattle. and one in
which every citizen With spark of local
feeling can take pride. Seattle raay
we'll boas. Of the many beautiful and
costly dwelling houses of her wealthy
citizens, bat none Of them is more taste
ful or should receive more admiration
than Mr.. Ssaey's nez building.
The building is Oh the northeast cor
rer Of Third and Marion streets, front
ing on Third, and ia tvo stories IN hight,
Nth cellar and atfic and nnrmounred
By a maasard roof and cupola OF
tower. The sty.s OF architecture Is
extremely pleasing. the front and side
elevations being broken by bay WIZ
cows and terraces. In tie middle of
the from. elevation is a tower twelve
feet square, and passing through the
porch which forms the base Of this. the
front door and main entrance are
reached. Entering, We ind ourselves n
a large hall, fanked on the left by a
parlor IS feet il length by Is II breadth,
and on the right by a library IL feet by
20. In the rear of the parlor and con-
nected with ii By folding doors, Is the
dining room, II feet ID breadth by q
feet 6 inches IN length. Further back
is the kitchen, room Is by l6 feet, be-
tween which and the dining room Is a
convenient China closet and q milk
room. This arrangement Is one OF the
greatest possible convenience.
On the other side of the building, IN
the rear of the library. is a sitting room
of Il feet by -, and immediately in the
rear of this a smoking room. from
which opeus a veranda. Of, hooking
Marion street. To the south OF and
opening from the sitting room Is the
conservatory, a room looking toward
the south and admirably fitted for the
purpose for which it ia intended. In
the middle of the building and to the
rear Of the entrance hall il the main
stairway. This leads clear up from the
ground floor to the attic, and is lighted
by skylight. Back of this stairway,
on the ground floor, is a small hall,
into which opens a pantry of s feet by
10 feet inches. laundry of the same
dimensions and bath room of Z feet
6 inches by 8 feet 6 inches.
On ascending the main stairway We
enter the main hall of the second floor.
From this open three large bedrooms
and from one of these opens a fourth
smaller bedroom. These, together with
two dressing rooms, occupy the front
portion of the second floor. IL the rear
are bath rooms, water closets, servants
rooms and all other necessary apart
nents.
The house, taken as whole, is per-
feet model of quiet, tasteful elegance.
II seems to have been the aim of the
architect, Mr.Arthur Doyle, to unite with
this the greatest possible comfort and
convenience, and his efforts have been
entirely successful. No modern i'm
provement is lacking. and from the fur.
mace and wood-roons in the cellar up to
the crowhin0 piece of the lower. every
thing seems to have been arranged by
one who had at his command the finest
taste and the highest architectural skill
Mr.. Doyle can certainly pride himself
a. being the architect Of model home,
which Six. Stacy can be no less proud OF
owning.
