The noted Pacific Northwest Regional Modernist Ralph D. Anderson, Jr., (1924-2010) designed this residence for Harry S. Glickman (1915-2011) and his wife Jeanette Horowitz (1918-2009). The couple both attended Seattle's Garfield High School during the early to mid-1930s and wed on 01/24/1939 in Seattle. (See Ancestry.com, Source Citation Washington State Archives; Olympia, Washington; Washington Marriage Records, 1854-2013; Reference Number: kingcoarchmcvol76_194, accessed 05/15/2025.) In 1950, Harry and Jeanette Glickman resided at 1422 Madrona Drive, in a house overlookin Lake Washington, with their two children, Lawrence (born c. 1941 in WA) and Arlene (born c. 1946 in WA). During the 1940s and 1950s, Harry Glickman owned a food processing company, the Yale Pickle Company, headquartered at 62 Pike Street.
