Historic Seattle’s Role:

The late 19th century Victorian Row Apartments are historically and architecturally significant as the only pre-1900 apartments existing in Seattle today in unaltered condition. The building was slated for demolition until 1993 when Historic Seattle entered into a limited partnership with the owner. Tax credits were utilized to rehabilitate the building into 14 units of low-income housing.

The Victorian Row Apartments building was designated a Seattle Landmark in 1979. The property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Current and Future Uses:

The property is now owned and maintained by Historic Seattle.  It is managed by United Marketing Inc. Please contact United Marketing Inc. at (425) 562-1200 or [email protected] for more information regarding this property.
