Ballard-Howe House
historic place
The Ballard-Howe House, a historic place in Seattle, Washington, was built between 1900 and 1901. Seattle businessman Martin D. Ballard commissioned its design by architects Emil De Neuf and August F. Heide. This residence is a notable example of Colonial Revival architecture, being one of the first in Seattle and the last still standing. Martin D. Ballard lived here until 1907. Attorney James Blake Howe acquired the property in 1911. In 1932, the house was converted into five apartments. The Ballard-Howe House was designated a Seattle Landmark in 1978 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Its historical significance lies in its architectural style and cultural heritage.
