Capitol Hill Modern Walking Tour

119 Harvard Ave E,Seattle WA 98102

17 September, 2022

Description

Join historian Tom Heuser and photographer Lana Blinderman for a walking tour of Capitol Hill’s most exceptional Mid-Century Modern apartments built between 1948 and 1970. The tour will explore the people who designed, built, and lived in these buildings, why these buildings are exceptional, both architecturally and historically, and why documenting them is important. You’ll also have the rare opportunity to walk through the verdant courtyard of Camellia Manor and the unique skylight-atrium inside the Cirque Apartments. The tour will start outside the Ramayana apartments at 119 Harvard Ave E and end with a social gathering outside Analog Coffee for additional questions and discussion. The tour is approximately three hours and one-and-a-half to two miles long and goes up and down (mostly down) some hills. Capitol Hill Modern is sponsored in part by a grant from King County 4Culture.
