Trolling around Queen Anne Hill this week
inspires me to share an example of beautiful reuse.
Old Queen Anne High School, designed by James Stephen
in 1899, is a Neo-classical building that sits high atop
Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. Originally noted for its
spacious corridors, ample exits, and abundant light
and fresh air it was considered “modern” when it
was constructed. Today is houses, in all its
Neo-classical glory, high-end condominiums.
An excellent example of the adaptive reuse of
historic buildings.

Beautiful Cafe
I am a coffee addict addicted to traversing
the city in search of new cafes.
Scored one this morning.

Beautiful Tuesday Morning
The joy of taking someone to the airport at
5AM in the summer and taking a side road….
This view just never gets old.
I think SF is the only city in US
with a view that trumps this one.
Beautiful Conversation
Two guys strolling at the stair climb to Queen Anne.
This little cul-de-sac has a brick surface with a secluded,
peaceful, old world feel. A perfect spot for quiet,
out-of-the-way conversation.
Beautiful Pattern
My obsession with patterns+textures continues.
This is a wonderful water permeable driveway
spied on Queen Anne Hill. Most of the Queen Anne
residences are historic however this driveway
serves one of the newly rebuilt modern homes.
Beautiful Places
One of the best views of Seattle is from Kerry Park atop Queen Anne Hill.
Doesn’t get much better than this unless of course Mt. Rainier is out.
On this day alas it was not. One of my favorite things to do to unwind
is climb the the stairs of different neighborhoods. Wonderful surprises
and discoveries arise from anywhere which is half the fun.
