Architectural drawing of alterations & additions for the Rainier Club. Architect: Bebb & Gould, 1928. The Rainier Club was founded by Judge Thomas Burke, E.M. Carr, and W.A. Peters as a social club and boarding house for men in 1888. The current building was erected in the early 1900′s. It was designed by Spokane-based architects Kirtland K. Cutter and Karl G. Malmgren in the Jacobean-style and modeled after Aston Hall in Birmingham, England.
Beginning in 1919, architect Carl F. Gould designed several additions to the club, including a complementary south wing and a new entrance in 1929.

Wow, that’s a beauty.
It looks like a paper cutout. Gorgeous!
That must be the north side. The door used to be the ladies entrance.
This color drawing from UW Special Collections represents how the addition was fianlly built after several iterations – one which included a bell tower. The building architecture is truly a gem in the Seattle community and a symbol of the importance of preservation.
Hey Mike and Sarah – what a gorgeous place! Cant wait to get there!
