The Seatte Times stated of this new residence for the impressario Alexander Pantages in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood: "Knapp & West designed this house for Alexander Pantages (1875-1936) at the southeast corner of Harvard Avenue and Denny Way, to cost $6,000. It will contain seven rooms, be heated by hot water, fitted throughout with plate glass, and be generally attractive and up to date in its appointments."

A five-story affordable housing apartment building was erected behind the Pantages House #1 in 2004-2005.

It provides 49 units of affordable housing, including three studios, 26 one-bedroom, 15 two-bedroom, and 5 three-bedroom apartments. The apartments are reserved for households earning 30 percent to 50 percent of area median income." (See City of Seattle, "Green Home Case Study: Pantages Apartments," accessed 07/16/2017.)
