Building Notes
In 08/1963, the Seattle Chapter of the American Institute of Architects recognized the Ben Weeks House as one of eight buildings for outstanding design. The design jury consisted of Warnett Kennedy, Executive Director of the Architectural Institute of British Columbia; Donald Lutes of Lutes and Amundson, Springfield, OR; and John Rohrer, architect of Seattle. The jury said of the Weeks House: " A highly successful solution for the diversified needs of the large family, with the classic simplicity of plan, recalled in consistent relationship of the steel frame and wood enclosing planes." (See "Seattle AIA competition cites eight equal awards," Architecture / West, vol. 69, no. 1, 01/1963, p 9.)
