Building History
Administrators of the Washington Congregational Christian Conference began planning of Horizon House in the late 1950s into 1960, a $4,000,000, 12-story retirement home designed for a site at 1000-1024 University Street in Seattle's First Hill neighborhood. The Seattle architectural firm of Durham, Anderson and Freed, a noted creator of church designs in WA State, had the responsibility for designing the building.
This building was not completed, however, as the Washington Congregational Christian Conference chose a lower cost option, buying the existing Baldwin Apartments at 900 University Street in mid-1961 and converting them for use as their Horizon House retirement facility.
