After questions and supportive comments by members, HPC recommended approval
as presented (6-0).
B. HPC21-002, City of Pt. Townsend/Main Street
Adams St. Parklet
Mari Mullen, PT Main St. Director, and Simon Little, Studio ST, presented concept
plans for simple improvements to the Adams St. end adjacent to the PT Bay Shoreline.
Topic Motions/Recommendation/Action
Concept design includes additional gravel surfacing, landscaping in movable pots, and
wood “Y” shaped benches to complement Main St. bistro benches. Project is funded
through a City LTAC (Lodging Tax Advisory Committee) funds.
No written or verbal comments from the public were received.
After review of the application materials, HPC members had various comments &
questions including:
• Shouldn’t this street end parklet be connected somehow to the adjacent
Adams St. Park?
• LTAC monies may be better used to develop a long term plan for street end
improvements (like at Tyler St. Plaza)? Safe access to the beach is important.
• Landscaping is a welcome addition here but as shown may be too densely
planted; consider spacing trees along Water St. out over both parks.
• Ensure trash receptacles are provided.
• Consult with/ensure access to PT Vineyards gate is maintained.
• Comments on the “Y” shaped benches were mixed. Some members support
more traditional style benches, others felt them “forward moving” and
appropriate.
HPC asked that the matter be brought back at the March meeting with responses to
the above, especially the PT Vineyard gate access concern.
C. HPC21-003, Creative District Art Marker and
Wayfinding sign installations
Mari Mullen, PT Main St. Director, and Kris Nelson, PT Main St. Board member,
presented the Creative District Art Marker project funded via a State Arts Commission
grant. Following a Request for Proposals, a local artist’s concept for 5 art markers to
be placed at 4 locations inside the NHLD and 1 near the entrance to Ft. Worden. The
markers are made of cedar, 18” square and under 7’ tall. Each marker will have a small
Creative District Wayfinding sign & QR code, leading visitors to other District features.
No written or verbal comments from the public were received.
After questions and comments by members, HPC recommended approval (6-0-1) of
the art marker installations as presented with 2 downtown and 2 Uptown with specific
Topic Motions/Recommendation/Action
locations subject to review and recommendation by HPC.
Old Business: Discussion of Admiralty Apartments and 1st Security lighting was postponed due to
time.

B. City Skatepark railing repairs

Re: Creatlve District Art Markers
Application of:
Port Townsend Main Street
l Flle No. LUP2l-qr3
FINDINGS,
CONCLUSIONS AND
FINAL DECISION
SUMMARY OF APPTICATION AND DECISION
Date:February 5,2021
lnstallation of four (4), large scale art markers within the National Landmark
Historic District (NHLD). The markers are proposed as part of a Creatlve District
Wayfinding Project funded, in part, bythe Washin$on State Arts Commission
(ArtswA), the city of Port Townsend and matching private donors.
Three (3) markers are proposed as streetscape installations within City right-of'
way. One {1) marker is proposed on the City-owned Carnegie library site. Each
marker location is provided with an alternate spot for consideration (i.e' two
possible spots are provided for each marker).
Each marker is made from wood (i.e. cedar) and each varies in height from 5'9"
to 5'9". All markers are 1.5' x 1.5' at the base. Each marker will have a small
creative District logo attached to it along with a QR code to allow smartphone
access to other creative District features and wayfinding points.
Application:
Location:The project has no specific property address due to art marker locations within
existing City rights-of-way (other than the Carnegie Library/Pink House site at
TZZO & 1256 Lawrence St.). Photos of proposed locations for each marker (with
Option A or B shown), visual representations of the art markers themselves and
Creative District logo options are included with the submitted application
(Exhibit A - Historic Design Review application and supporting materiols). t
Staff Gontact; John McDonagh, Senior Planner
Decision: The application is CONDITIONALLY APPROVED'
r The submitted application form inadvertently used a Sign Permit application. While this proje.ct does not meet the

SEFT\/ICES
After respectful consideration of the above referenced application, the City's Development
Services Director (DSD) hereby adopts the following Findings, Conclusions and Decision:
FINDINGS & CONCTUSION5
Backqround and Proiect Summarv1. Port Townsend Main Street, in coordination with various public and private entities, has
secured grant funding through the Washington State Arts Commission (ArtsWA) to
implement a Creative District Wayfinding Project. The Creative District's purpose is to
foster a sustainable, year-round economy that recognizes the local art and culture
industry.
2. ln the first of several anticipated Creative District initiatives, the Wayfinding project
proposes to install four {4}, large scale art markers within the National Landmark Historic
District (NHLD).2 Each marker is made from wood (i.e. cedar) and each varies in height
from 5'9" ta 6'9". All markers are 1.5' x 1.5' at the base. Each marker will have a small
Creative District logo attached to it along with a eR code to allow smartphone access to
other Creative District features and wayfinding points. These 4 installations are subject to
Historic Design Review.
3. Up to 60 informational/directional signs for watkers, bicyclists and vehicle are also
proposed as part of the Creative District Wayfinding Project. An exact location for each of
these signs is yet to be determined. Most will be located outside of the NHLD and
mounted onto existing posts that contain other informational signs lawfully installed by
the City. Their size will be no larger than a standard parking hour limit sign (i.e. !2,' x Lg,,
or smaller). lnformational signs, this aspect of the Wayfinding project does-not meet the
definition of a "Sign" under Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) are therefore exempt
from Historic Design Review or the need for a Sign permit.3 The informational signs are
intended to direct people from downtown and Uptown areas of the NHLD and out to Ft.
worden state Park where the Makers square initiative is underway.
4. City Public Works staff have agreed to install the art markers and signage as part of the
City's contribution to the Creative District Wayfinding Project. As such, no public Works
permits are needed for the project.
2 A fifth art marker, proposed outside of the NHLD near the entrance to Ft. worden state park, is not subject to thecity's Hlstoric Design Review process and it not addressed as part of this decislon.3 PTMC l7'08.060 'Sign" means any object, structure or portion thereof, other than a flag or government symbol,which contalns adverlislnq which is visible from any right-of-way open to the public (emphasii added).

SERvICES
Permit Framewo*: Applicable Desien Review Guidelines
S. The 4 art markers are considered new streetscape improvements within the National
Landmark Historic District (NHLD) which are subject to Type l-A design review approvala
Type l-A permits are administrative decisions of the DSD Director, which are made
following revlew and recommendation by the City's Historic Preservation Committee
{HPc).
6. HpC recommendations - and the resulting Type l-A decision - must be supported by
formally adopted design guidelines.s The most applicable guidelines are:
a. port Townsend,s NHLD 1987 Streetscape Design Manual6, and,
b. Port Townsend,s 2(X)7 East Downtown streetscape Plant.
1!187 StreetscaPe Desiqn Manual
Z MinV guidelines in the 1987 Streetscape Design Manual ("'89 Manual"), such as concrete
sidewalk scoring patterns, have been incorporated into private and public downtown
capital improvements. Other '87 Manual guidelines, particularly those involving street
furnishings like benches, planters and Wayfinding signage, are less applicable in today's
context. Direct access to some illustrated materials are often unavailable today.
Fortunately, much of the '87 Manual language is discretionary (i'e. the prevalent use of
,,should" vs. "shall") rather than prescriptive which allows for flexibility in their use. Street
art was unanticipated when the'87 Manual was originally adopted but regardless their
use today can still be permitted via the Historic Design Review process.
2007 East Downtown Streelscape Plan.
8. pubtic art guidelines are specifically referenced in the 2007 East Downtown Streetscape
plan (EDSp). Only one (1) of the art marker proposed near the corners of Monroe &
Washington Streets is located within the EDSP area . Design criteria for public art per the
EDSP includes the following:
o Art pieces should require little or no maintenance'
o lndividual pieces must be of an appropriate size, color, and configuration for the
location.
e Art should be visible but not interfere with pedestrian circulation or create a
traffic hazard.
r Artwork should be appropriate to the area's historic scale and character.

if necessary Begin with a summary Parag raph that brieflY describes the general characteristics of the proPertY, such as
its location, setting,size, and significant features
The colonel Henry Landes Residence is located at 1034 Franklin street in Port Townsend, washington' This
eueen Anne style home, originally constructed in 1871and sits on lots 5 through I of the original rownsite of
port Townsend.l ln 1gg1, the property was sold to Henry Landes who moved the house to the rear of several
combined lots and added onto it at least twice in the preceding years'
Location and Settinq
The current structures, which include the two-story main residence, as well as a carriage house and cottage, is
located on a site g,aili lusrouer a harf-acre in sizb. The property is bounded by the intersection of clay street
to the north, polk Streeito the west, Franklin Street to the south, and private property tothe west' The
landscaping includes many large tree, inciuiint a targe Deodar Cedar, an abundance of evergreen' fruit' and
berry trees and bushes, "nO "i extensive gardln' The rear yard, which is fenced to exclude the local deer
population, has been extensively tanOscaplO and includes a greenhou!91 p"l9.ola' water cascade' raised
vegetable garden, "nJ p"tr,*"yi. rn" nouse faces Franklin slreet and sits at the rear of the combined lots
forming a deeP front Yard.
HOUSE
Exterior
The house has an irregular plan with platform framing in the original section.of the house, and a balloon frame
structural system in the 1gg3 addition. rr'rer" are gables on boti the left and right sides of the front fagade'
The walls are clad with drop wood siding. There a-re several different siding designs depending on the era that
the construction took pra"". rr-.'" promirient front porch also serves as a balcony for the second story' The top
of the house features a large flat area with a widow's walk that is surrounded by cast iron cresting' The left-
hand front gable is over a first- and second-"tory u"y, o1e 9f several that were apparently added in 1887 along
with a cellar and back room, which "u"ntuurry
06""r" the formal kitchen. The front fagade is from the '1887
remodel, which gave the home its Queen Anne appearance'
Entry to the house is through double doors under a double transom window. There are decorative brackets
and shingles under the right-hand gable. ihe asphalt roof is hipped at the t99.t olthe house' The brick
foundation has been repaired and repointed. A further addition to the rear of the house, which enclosed the
kitchen, was added between 1891 and 1911'
lnterior
After Landes moved the main building constructed in the 1870s to the center of the property, that old section
became the half of the current structure to the right of the central hallway (relative to front entry)' The hallway
and the rooms to the left, including the stairway ind upper rooms were ionstructed when Landes owned the
property in the 1gg0s. There is a noticeable difference 6etween the two sections of the home, as the trim and
accouterments differ. on the second ttooi, a former exterior window faces the hallway' ln the attic, the
westward slope of the original roof is "ppur"nt.
one of the first skylights in Port Townsend was constructed in
the upper hallwaY.

and State
This process whereby Landes continued.to enlarge a simpler house and incorporate a different style withsubsequent additions typifies Folk Victorian const-ruction, which would g"n"r;riy oe considered a separatesubset of Victorian architecture altogether. However, Landes' updates 6"u" fl'r6 rror" its eueen Anne styleand appearance during.the peak of its popularity in the U.s.-giving th6 residence both Folk Victorian andQueen Anne attributes (See Section I ior more detail on this aspect of the residence).
Nonetheless, the house's folk attributes are visib_le throughout the interior, which includes many rooms that arelarger than what is typical in a Late Victorian or Queen Aine style home. As a result, excluding the threebathrooms, the house has 10 rooms-of which all but two are larger than one rignt expect. The house has atotal living area of approximately 4,000 square feet.
Entrv
As mentioned in the exterior description, the home is entered ihrough a set of double doors with a doubletransom window above. Both front doors have a single window in th"e uppet portion. The central hallway isnearly 7 feet wide and the floors are oak hardwood,l,vhich was added in the'19g0s (oak *", g;nuiuiliunavailable in Port Townsend during the late 1800s). The walls are lath unJ pL"i"r and the ceiling height is 9feet.
To the right and left are double french doors leading to the sitting room on the right (into the older portion ofthe house) and the living room ("Great Room") to thi left. Therer=s also a small ,idi"to, to the direct left. Themain stainrvay to the second floor is directly ahead on the left. Further along on the right is a doorway to thedining room, and on the left is a closet locited under the stairs, with the do-or to the main bathroom next. Atthe end of the hall is a dooruuay into the kitchen.
Sittinq Room
This is the front of the original house and the room measures approximately 14 feet by 20 feet with a 9-footceiling and a picture.hanging molding around the entire room. This room rigrtt be called the parlor in Victorianparlance' There are two double-hung windows opening onto the front porchlnJtour double-hung windows inthe bay window on the side. The floors are the oiigin"ioouglas fir (the predominant wood throughout thehouse)' There is a cut line in the floor indicating w-here the 6ay window was added at a later date.
There is a coal ("Rumford") fireplace, which sha.res a chimney with a similar fireplace in the dining room next-door' The mantelpiece is original. The surrounding tile is simi'iar in design to the original fireplace tile in theliving room' There is a closet to the left of the fireiace. All oi the woodirir ir *igin"l and reflects the eartierconstruction of the original house. Light fixtures, window, and door hardware rem"ain. There is a radiator underthe bay window.
Dininq Room
Entry to the dining room is through a pass{hrough door on the right of the adjacent sitting room. The matchingcoal fireplace is on the wall to the left- There is Jmatching bay window, but no obvious c,Jt line in the Douglasfir flooring.
When the older portion of the house was remodeled, apparently there was a stairway to the second floor in thearea of the wall between the existing sitting room and dining room, a fact brought to light when carpet wasremoved in the blue upstairs bedroom. wnel the stairway riu" ,"roued, the b-earing wall was shifted, puttingadditionalweight on the dining room ceiling to the point that it sagged and the bathroom above becameslightly lopsided, where a visible portion or ftre doonvays and trim had to be cut to accommodate the sagging.Recently, a load-bearing beam was placed above the ceiling across the dining room to stabilize it. As a result,the ceiling height is only 8 feet g inches and the picture fratiging molding was removed to retain the aestheticproportions in the room.

The walls have been redoneand are now sheetrock with beadboard wainscoting. The floor is covered with a white 1-inch hex tile. ln a1980s remodel, a single two-light window, with patlerned translucent glass, replaced the two clear windows.There is a small radiator next to the marble sink. The door and its hardware aie original.
Upstairs Hallway
Directly at the top of the main stairs is the upstairs hallway. On the left is the door to the master bedroom,followed by a door to the master bathroom, and then the iop of the rear stainvay.

Master Bedroom
Directly to the left at the top of the main stairs is the door to the master bedroom. The door is a S-inch step upfrom the hallway, making the floor approximately 15 inches thick.

provided a vent for a wood stove, was nraceo so that it remained a permanent part of the exterior symmetry'
ln extending the closet, the passthrougl'rdoor from the blue bedroom was eliminated' However' the door
remains in that bedroom and provides entiy to a new closet under the stainivay. The rose bedroom is the only
one that retains all of the original clear finisi on the natural wood trim, doors, windows, and picture hanging

The walls have a door lintel-height wainscoting ofbeadboard, and the walls are presumably sheetrock. All of the trim appears to haie been replaced at anearlier time, as it accentuates the past sagging of the dining room ceiling below.
Green Bedroom
The only door to the green bedroom sits at a u-turn from the top of the stairs. ln this room, both of the wallsllope at the top, as it is the entire front section of the gabled roof of the original house, which now creates theright-hand dormer of the front of the current house.

The colonel Henry Landes House in port Townsend, washington is historically significant at the local level
under criterion B for its direct association to cotonet'Henry M. Landes. This one time fur trapper rose to
economic, civic and political prominence in port Townsend in the late 1800s. He established the first bank in
port Townsend and was part of the "Big Five" real estate syndicate that drove the town's period of dramatic
growth in the 1880s'
col. Landes acquired the nominated home in 1gg1 and then completed an extensive remodel of the house in
18g7. As such the house is also historicaily significant rlder. criterion c as an intact example of the Late
Victorian era and the eueen Anne style of arctitecture. Due to a dramatic growth in Port Townsend between
1gg6 and 1gg3, the Queen Anne style dominates the architecture in the city'" The col. Landes House is one
of the best examples in the community unJ ir.o*r how existing early architecture was modified to meet the
needs and tastes of an increasingly cultured community'
The period of significance begins in 1871, the year the home was built and ends in 191 6, the year that the
Landes family sold the house.- The home was tisteo on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 as part
of the port Townsend Historic District. The dwelling was considered a "f,rimary" resource, but little details of
the house exist in the nomination and therl L no m'ention of the two out'buildings. This nomination is intended
to flush out the history of the property and provide a deeper context for individual listing'
Port Townsend
Located on the euimper peninsula, the city of PortTownsend borders Port Townsend Bay and Admiralty
lnlet. The Clallam and Chimacum tribes tristoricatty had a large settlement along Port Townsend Bay, which
captain George vancouver explored and named in llgz. Eu-ro-American settlement began there in 1851'
Additional setilers and their families arrived in the community and Port Townsend was appointed the seat of
Jefferson county in 1g52. perfecfly situateo toi sailing vessels, Port rownsend's natural advantages suddenly
became very attractive. lt was easily u"""siolu by sh'ip_s with its deep and protected harbor, had abundant

on imported goods. The town was plited in 1856' and it became known as the "Key City"'
By 1g70, port rownsend,s population numbered nearly 600, with most new residences being built on the bluff
above the waterfront. Land and building rpl"uluti"n wls high when news surfaced that the transcontinental
Northern pacific Railroad, being builtto.portland and northio Puget sgun.d, could and would likely make its
terminus at port Townsend. lnvestors knew that the chosen site ilould enjoy a sharp incre-ase in land values'
comnierce, population, as well as potiticai po*"r- Th_e terminus winner would become the "great emporium of
the pacific,, and the ,,lucrative gateway to the orient." However, Port Townsend's bubble burst when Tacoma
was chosen for the terminus in 1g73. rne city however still was the hub of maritime traffic. confident of their
position, soon large stone and brick structures began to replace wooden buildings in the waterfront
commercial district. By 1gg0, thousands of ships flom all over the world were passing through the community'

Colonel Henrv M. Landes
Among the settlers taking advantage of this great boom was Henry M. Landes. Born october g, 1g43 inButtenhalsen Germany, Landes moved with -his family to ilre Unite-d states in 1g47 at the age of four. They
:911199 in Kentucky, where Landes lived through his tlens, At the age of 1g, in october 1861 he enlisted in the20th Kentucky lnfantry regiment under General sherman. He. serve-d in his regiment for over three years,participating "in all the principal batfles [of the American Civil War] from Shiloti to the capture of Ailanta [at theBattle of Jonesboroughl.',ui
After being "honorably mustered out of the service of the close of his term,'uii Landes love for adventureintensified and he ventured west, specifically to the allurinf lold fields of British cotumbia. He dabbledunsuccessfully in the mining trade before traveling south t6 ihe washington Territory in 1870. ReportedlyLandes operated a fur trading store for the Bosco-vitz Brothers of Victori-a canada. Just over ten years prior,the U's' federal government had forced the Makah-already weakened from disease outbreaks introduced bydecades of contact with Europeans-to move to the northwestern corner of the olympic peninsula followingthe 1859 ratification of the Treaty of Neah Bay. The Boscovitz Brother sold out to Landes in 1g74and hecontinued to operate the trading post. while there he was also appointed the postmaster on July 2, 1grs.
Before moving to Neah Bay, Landes, then age 25, he married !9.rtha oetinger on sept 26, lB6g.viiiTogetherthey had two children; Martha (1970-1891;ano t-utie 1lu+,-ls+l). ln 1876, the family moved to portTownsend, and Landes quickly became one of the seitlement's most prominent citizens. He establishedhimself.as an enterprising young businessmen and opened a "General commission Business,,in 1g7g. Hisgeneral business was to buy hides, firs, skins and wool but he also cashed drafts, sold exchange, and loanedmoney on good security. lt was the first banking service of any kind in poft Townsend.i*
wjll !i: business going well, Landes and business partners Robert and Nathaniel Hill, decided to establish anofficial bank in the community. They incorporated the First National Bank in 1gg3 with a capital of $s0,000.Landes served as bank president, and Robert c Hiil as cashier. *
While presiding over-F-irst National Bank, Landes held a number of important positions in port Townsendbetween 1883 and 1887, including president of the board of trade, three years as citytreasurer, and severalstints as mayor' He also served as a member of the publicschool board, and hls efforts in that role werecredited for guiding a "marvelous transformation" that included the construction of a new building and ,,theschool itself becoming graded nearly to an academic standard.,'*i
During that period, Landes emerged as one of five residents of Port Townsend in what crystallized as a realestate syndicate known as the ,,Big Five',-which, in addition t,o Landes, included Charles Eisenbeis, J.A.Kuhn, R'c' Hill, and rhomas J. Jalkman. Together, tre "sij Five" owned the majority of the companiesunden'vriting land speculation and development in Port Tow-nsend through its boom years of the 1Bg0s."ii The

speculation came to a head with the incorporation of the Port Townsend Southern Railway Company (PT & S
Railway co) in August 1gg7. At the time the company vied to make Port Townsend the northwestern-most
terminus of the Northern pacific Railroad, iinKng'tn" "ity to Portland via a line down the west side of Hood
canal through olympia. As one of the pT c s in"corporators, Landes was also elected to be the company's
treasurer.*iii
port rownsend,s growth in the mid 1gg0s mirrored the dimensions of its railroad ambitions' The population
had swelled to an estimated 7,000 to a,o-00 compared to just 917 atthe time of the 1880 federal census'*iu
over time, Port Townsend had become the principal port-of entry for the Pyset sound, with more steam
vessels engaged in foreign trade entering ano ctearlo through ihe Puget sound customs District in Port
Townsend tnan any oitrei port in the uniild states. The tonnage for the_same-class of vessels for fiscal year
1884-85 was only exceeded by cargo that entered and cleared through New York city'*
As one of the leading citizens in one of the fastest growing communities in the state, Landes was gaining
many friends in high places. ln June, tgaa, he wajappointed by Territorial Governor william A' Newell as a
member of the board of commissioners who task was io locate ih" n"* territorial penitentiary' Reportedly he
performed the delicate and difficult duties oi this position with his usual practical sagacity, and with entire
public satisfaction. ih"n in March, 1gg5, h; was appointed by the secretary of th.e Treasury to be a member
of the board of commissioners which was responribl" for lociting Port rownsend's federal government
buildings.
ln september of 1g85, then territorial governor watson c. squire commissioned Landes to his military staff; as
assistant adjutant-general with the rank oi lieutenant-colonel. subsequently, he was commissioned in 1889 by
Miles c. Moore, the fourteenth territoriallovernor, as quartermaster-generalwith the rank of colonel for the
National Guard of washington Territory.i'ih" newly christened colonel Landes then went on to serve as the
joint senator tor leffeison,"ct"lt"r, and san Juan counties in the first washington state Legislature after
Washington was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889.
It was during this time that Landes purchased four lots of Block 106 of the original rownsite from Ms' susan
B. pettit in 1g81 . pettit initiaily hetd the tifle for two of the lots (5 and 7) in 1871 , then all four lots (5-8) by 1879'
pettit was the former wife of B.F. Dennison-a prominent figure in the courts and early bar association of the
washington Territory. Dennison had alreaoy served as chi6f Justice of washington supreme court at the
appointment of pres'ident Grant in 1g6g, as well as two terms in the territorial legislature. Later he served as
the first president oi p,u washington state gar Association (1888 and 1889). Presumably, Pettit and Dennison
divorced sometime between 1g7-g and 1gg1 and she was awarded the property. Dennison remarried at the
age of 70 and moved to Olympia where he died in 1896'
At the time colonel Landes was on the cusp of his many success business adventures. After centering the
house on the four lots and he had an addition added to rear of the home in 1883. Perhaps celebrating his
success, he commissioned an ambitious remodel in 1887 that gave the house its present stylistic appearance'
while just a one sentence notice in the local newspaper describe the house as "undergoing renovation and
repairs,,, sanborn maps indicate the r,ous" r"s doubled in size with a rear addition and the front porch was
extended across the full width of the house'

Unfortunately Landes wife Bertha unexpectedly passed away on February 21, lggg shorfly after the remodelwas completed. xviiA year and a half later, Landes married Ms. Christina Story (twenty years his junior) ofVictoria, .B-C. They were.married in a grand celebration at the Rainer Hotel in beatfle on Dec 1g, 1ggg. Thehigh social affair received nearly a full column in the local newspaper. The ceremony was performed bySupreme Court Justice John P' Hoyt and the attendance included'the governor;nd lieutenant-governor,numerous members of both houses of the_legislature, and judges of th"e State Supreme Court, as well asLandes best man, former US senator Dr. simon B. conover of Florida. Together they had two children ; Hazel(1 891-1980) and Gladys (1892-19S1 ).
It seemed as though Port Townsend's prosperity-and Landes'-would extend into the next decade. propertyvalues soared, with real estate transactions in Pbrt Townsend totaling nearty $a.6 mittion in 1gg0 alone. Beforethat year was out, Port Townsend was home to six banks, six dry-go6ds stores, six hardware stores, 10 hotels,28 real estate offices, three street-car lines,-and an impressive new city hall building under construction at thecorner of Water and Madison streets.*iii Unfortunately both Port Towniend and Landes' fortunes turneddramatically in the following year.
Between June and August of 1891, construction of the rails destined for Port Townsend ended at euilceneand Landes' deughter Mattie died at just 21 years old."i* She left behind her husband, lawyer Morris BenedictSachs, and infant daughter, Christina.
When the nationwide depression hit Port Townsend in 1893, the population of the already-reeling city dwindledfrom 20,000 to 2,000. The collapse came so suddenly that many property owners lost everything. Totaldeposits of Landes' own First National BanK the only bank to survive to ftre next century, fell from nearly ahalf-million dollars holdings at the end of 1gg9 to onty $+g,OO0 by 18g3.*
ln order to protect as many investments as possible, Landes transferred the deed to his house to adevelopment company under his name (Landes Estate co.) in 1894. The home remained in companyholdings until 1916. Due to a variety of investments, Landes fortunes quickly bounced back. He still ownedseveral buildings and vacant lots in downtown Seattle as well as large iracts land holdings in the outerperiphery. ln 1900 sold an 80 acre plot to the Moore lnvestment coirpany for 923,000. ih" foltowinf year hepurchased a prime lot on the corner of 3d Ave and Seneca for $26,0d0 *itn pf""" to build a substantial brickbuilding. ln 1903 he sold two lots at the sw corner of Roy st. and Broadway tor $go,o0o to Los Angelesinvestors' other purchase and sales included the purchase of the Rosenberi eloct< ltosz First Ave) in 1g05for $85,000; the sale of SW corner of 3'd & Seneca for $SS,OOO in 1905, and-the purchase of the SE corner ofBroadway & Harrison st. for $25,000 in 1907. Landes continued many other real'estate deals until his death.
Ultimately he decided to move to Seattle i" '199q The family home in port Townsend was eventuallypurchased by John S. and Ruth C' Kuhn in 1916. Landes died in Seattle on March 17, 1926. He, his first wifeBertha, his daughter Mattie, and his second wife Christina are all buried in port Townsend,s Laurel GroveCemetery.oi

Architecture
when it was first built in 1g71 , the nominated house was a modest Gabled-ell structure with a one-story
Italianate bay window on the main facade. Growth of the family as well as an increased social standing led the
second owner of the home to expand and modify the dwelling io meet the architectural fashions of the day, the
eueen Anne style.xxii while several modification were made tLo the home, it is believed the current architectural
details date to 1887.
The Queen Anne style had been introduced to the united states in 1876 and enjoyed popularity from roughly
1 gB0 to 1905, which coincides with port Townsend's period of growth between 1.886 and 1893' At the time,
according to polk Directories, port Townsend had five architect-uralfirms practicing in the city. These included
E.A. Batwett; oonneity, Curri"n & patrick; Hartsuck & White; Strange, Reynolds & Ripley; and Whiteway &
schroeder. while the architect and/or buiider of the alterations to the nominated home is unknown, it is clear
from the results that the practitioner had a thorough knowledge of architectural design'
The eueen Anne style represented the culmination of the picturesque, or romantic movement of the 19th
century. Based on " pi"rire of "decorative excess" and variety, there was little attempt to stay true to any one
particular style or nisiorical detailing. Rather, the style displayed a combination of various forms and stylistic
features borrowed from the earlier parts of the Victorian and'Romantic eras. The name of style suggested
eclecticism (variety) to its proponents in England, from wJrere the style originated' Richard Norman Shaw was
the most prominent aicf it"ct in England to f,romote the Queen Anne style, inspired as it was by a mix of
earlier Tudor, pre-Georigan, and late medieval styles'
ln the united states, the style was most commonly employed for houses and much less'common for
commercial structures. one occasionaily sees a dtminating brick or stone structure on Main street that
displays elaborate eueen Anne features, though this was not tt're style that defined American main-street
commercial districts. lnstead, the last two decades of the nineteenth century saw Queen Anne become the
most dominant residentiat styte in the U.s., heavily favored by the Victorian elite who had become wealthy
from industrial growth such as Colonel Landes. n/liOOt"- and working-class families often enjoyed their own
versions, however, in the form of smaller, L-shaped cottages or other "folk" variants decorated with some of
the style's typical trim or siding varieties'
Distinctive features of the Queen Anne style found on the Landes include an asymmetrical fagade, a dominant
front-facing gable, an etauorately detailed two-story bay window, a bracketed and spindled porch covering
much of the front tafale, additional one-story bay windows on the side elevations, a variety of shingle/ siding
patterns, prominent-chimneys, and deeply detailed bargboards'
As contributing features on the property, the carriage house and cottage (combined potting shed/storage
shed) also bear some of the disiinctive'features of bueen Anne style cottages and outbuildings' The carriage
house is a two-story wood frame structure typical of the times. The two conjoined single-story -ft"T". structures
(cottage) with rectangular layouts (one with a dirt floor and one with a foundation and built-up floor) have
bioj".iin'g gables to t"heir sid'es, and an interior-located chimney projecting from the roof'
The lg8g sanborn Fire lnsurance Map shows an outbuilding adjacent to l[9 rear side of the house facing clay
street. The l ggg map also shows a separate outbuilding on the-corner of clay and Polk streets labeled "Hen
Ho,,-presumably for hen house.oiii The wood frame garage structure first appears on the 191 1 Sanborn Map
labeled !'Auto.')c(iv Although the current conjoined cottige Jtructures may not be a derivative of the residence's
earliest outbuilding"l ir'"i ur" still significant in tt'r"ir or,in right as a testament to how the house developed and
grew over time to heet the changes needs of its residents.

Backero un.d -a nd H isto rv'
334 Lawrence Streetn an Arts & Craft style homq. built in 19l-0,, is designated as,a Secondarir historic
residence, tt Is located on an inland blufl on an LL,000 SF lot. The lot slopes gently from West to East
except for the SE corner where a portion of the property intersects with the 15' setback line from the
Landslide ttazard ,Are.a, (LHA) as shown.on t'tre Sitelplans.
The current o1xvners have lived in the house asas€cond home for2Otrrears and soon''will live here in PT
fulltime. Thehousehasbeenchangedinafew.areasovertheyears. ThecurrentFirstFloorwindows
are an odd,mix of Double Hung 1,/1-qs" 6 and,8 lite Transoms;andra large picture window with 2/1 flanking
picture windows in the Living Room. These have different head heights also, making one suspect that
windows have been changed several times over this home's lifetime. The front porch is open on the SE
side and at the steps but ctosed-in by gtass onthe SW andW sides for protectionfromthe wind A MW
corner covered porch was.changed at some point in the home'rs,history,to add a full ba'th on the first
floor.
Proiect Summarv
We are seeking to expand the second-floor dormer on the Principal (South or Front Side) of the 334
lawrence S;reetfiesjdential Structure. The reason we are asking to expand this dormer js to make the
2"d fl,oor bedroorns more,viable in termsof size. The front bedrooms,currentlrl each h.ave low'sloped
