Remarkable for its unusual, non-conforming modernist design, the Egan House, designed by architect Robert Reichert in 1958. In 1998, the house was acquired by Historic Seattle in partnership with the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department. Threatened with demolition on a number of occasions, the Egan House is an outstanding example of modern residential architecture. Historic Seattle undertook interior and exterior rehabilitation of the property in 2003. Historic Seattle owns the building and Seattle Parks and Recreation owns the land. The Egan House was designated a Seattle Landmark in 2010. (Adapted from the Historic Seattle website)
