A.S. Kerry House, “Glenkerrie”
The Highlands Shoreline, Washington 98177 Willatzen & Byrne, 1911,
The most celebrated of all Willatzen and Byrne commissions, the Kerry House is often locally attributed to Frank Lloyd Wright. Scaled back from a more elaborate program before construction, this stuccoed, pinwheel plan design is impressive nonetheless. It cost $20,000 to build. Willatsen designed alterations in 1960 for the daughter of the original client and the house is now in the third generation of the same family. The gardens, laid out by the Olmstead Brothers, and their pergola have been destroyed.
