Historic Mansion + Carriage House surrounded by green space in charming First Hill neighborhood

HISTORY The Mansion maintains the historic glamour and charm of the 1900s as originally one of Seattle’s founding families estate home. The splendor of the Stimson-Green Mansion derives from an assortment of vintage artifacts, fixtures, fireplaces and leaded windows. Home to the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, no detail is overlooked. BEST USES The Mansion offers a fantastic backdrop for any event looking to add a touch of historic grandeur. From a casual birthday party to an intimate wedding celebration, the venue is flexible to meet your vision. Each booking is expected to bring their own food and beverage. Your rental includes everything you need such as warming trays, compostable plates and flatware, serving platters, ice, and more. You will work with our Events Coordinator to determine the best floor plan for your event. Tables and chairs are available in a variety of layouts that perfectly suite a cocktail party for 150 or a seating affair for up to 65 people. Other options can be provided at an additional cost, such as bartender, DJ, and parking garage. THE SPACE The main floor and main entrance welcomes guests with a Grand Foyer worthy of the family that built this home. To one end of the hall is the Library and a view of the largest fireplace of the property. All throughout is artwork and artifacts reflecting the early 20th century history of the building. The Library is home to both a large ornate fireplace and also a small mezzanine that is home to a baby grand piano. One wall is lined with books and another with large picture windows. Portraits of the Stimson & Green families give the room a regal atmosphere. The dining room also includes a fireplace and an ornate romanesque dining table that seats 20 (including 20 upholstered dining chairs), plenty of room for the grandest food buffet. The parlor is a brighter room (originally the ladies' parlor) with decorated walls, classical sconces, a small marble fireplace, and carpeted flooring. For an additional fee, the upstairs living quarters can be available for a bride's suite or nursing room. The two bedrooms consist of historic decor, dressing room, fireplace, large bed, and seating areas. The lower level is also available for an added hourly fee. Includes use of the Billiards Room as well as the Turkish Lounge, aptly named for the Moorish flairs. The leaded mosaic windows add beautiful color and light to the rooms and a large brick fireplace gives the space grandeur. Perfect for a kids activity room or for a Men's Lounge. Behind the Mansion is another 2,000 sq ft, two story, Carriage House. The Carriage House is home to Birch Road Clubhouse but is also available for bookings. The interior retains the rustic look of the former stable/garage with exposed beam ceiling and brick walls but has a new updated modern decor for the social club currently housed there. The Mansion exists on half a city block, right next to a public park. There is parking on site as well as access to additional parking at nearby parking garages. The property is beautifully landscaped and includes a small garden in the rear.
