Open house at Egen House by Robert Reichert (1923-96). 1500 Lakeview Boulevard E., Seattle, WA 98102.
Organized by Historic Seattle. Built in 1958. ~1400 sqft. The building's cantilever integrated its triangular form into the steeply sloping bowl, but was difficult to maintain structurally as mudslides, highway vibrations, and damp, shady conditons deteriorated the framing, roofing and foundation. Historic Seattle $102k rehabilitation replaced damaged structural material, cantilever (rotting and damaged) was replaced and shored by wood columns, repainted, upgraded kitchen, bath, and heating system, new deck.
