History of the Stimson-Green Mansion
This year marks the Stimson-Green Mansion’s 125th birthday! C.D. and Harriet Stimson commissioned Spokane architect Kirtland Cutter to design the Stimson-Green Mansion, which was completed in 1901 and is one of Seattle’s most impressive examples of “eclectic architecture.” For more than a decade, the Stimsons lived in the home with their son, Tom, and their daughter, Dorothy. After the Stimsons moved to a larger home in The Highlands in 1914, Seattle businessman Joshua Green and his wife Laura purchased the house in 1915. For the next 60 years, the Green family resided at “1204,” as it was known to them, raising their three children; entertaining family, friends, and business associates; and making very few changes to the building’s elaborate interior.
