These flats produced for William R. Ballard in 1889, were, so far as is known, one of the first works in WA State by the English-born architect, John Parkinson (1861-1935). (Parkinson lived previously in Napa, CA.) He, like many architects, was drawn to Seattle after its fire in 1889, and he went on to design a large number of buildings here (most notably a series of public schools) in the five or so years he lived in the city. He migrated to Los Angeles, CA, during the economic downturn that hit Seattle in 1894.
Unbuilt.
