Cultural: The 1926 Model Brick Home was at the forefront of the Northwest Brick and Tile Associations' effort to demonstrate to a growing Seattle public the desirability, durability, low maintenance, and affordability of a brick home when compared to a typical framed home. From the initial design phase, beginning in early February, to completion in mid-May, the home was completed in 12 weeks. Every detail of the construction project could be followed by the weekly articles appearing in the Seattle Times. The public was greatly encouraged to follow the progress, first hand, by visiting the site.On March 1, 1926, following a dedication ceremony, Mr. John Stirrat and Mrs. George D. Schofield, chairman of the Better Homes committee, laid a specially designed cornerstone into the lower northwest section of a quickly rising brick wall. Upon completion, the home was available for public inspections during a two week period. At the May 16, 1926 opening day ceremony, Mr. Walter Meier, following a short speech, presented a symbolic floral key to Mrs. Victor Zednick, hostess chairman. Well over 5,000 people visited the home that first Sunday.The earliest known owners of this house were Phillip W. & Mary Fisher in 1928. It was owned by Bertram A. & Mae Russell in 1938; he was Assistant Manager of the Federal Reserve Bank. They remained here through at least1958.
