Construction of the Egan House began in 1958 and was completed in 1959, at a cost of $10,762. The house was designed by architect Robert Reichert for Admiral Willard Egan. Located between Seattle’s Eastlake and Capitol Hill neighborhoods, the arresting, controversial, and unusual Egan House is one of Reichert’s most notable residential designs. Considered an outstanding example of Washington state residential architecture, its notoriety is based on two factors—the advanced design and the house’s relationship to the surrounding property.
