Moving of Nettleton Mansion (1914)
The Nettleton Mansion (1914), a historic Kirkland property at 400 State St. has moved -- to a different part of the property.
Instead of demolishing the home to make way for a new 25-unit housing development (single family condominium-style homes), property owner CamWest Development decided to move it about a block to the southwest corner of the lot.
Built in 1914 by former Seattle Post-Intelligencer publisher Clark M. Nettleton, the home was designed in the “Southern Colonial Revival Style,” which, according to the city’s planning department, is quite uncommon for the area.
