Raymond-Ogden Mansion, Seattle, Washington
historic place
The Raymond-Ogden Mansion is a historic place located in Seattle, King County, Washington. This residence is recognized as one of the finest examples of Georgian Revival architecture in the Northwest. It was designed by Joseph Cote, a prominent early Seattle architect known for his residential work in the Georgian Revival style. The mansion was built for Dr. Alfred Raymond, a leading physician in early Seattle. Dr. Raymond arrived in the city in the 1890s and was chief of brain surgery at Seattle General Hospital. He also served as president of the King County Medical Society in 1897. The Raymond family owned the mansion until the 1950s. In 1958, Myron W. Ogden purchased the property. From 1960 to 1970, the British Government leased the house to serve as the consul-general's residence. The Raymond-Ogden Mansion stands as a significant example of outstanding homes from an earlier era in Seattle's history.
