description

Summary

George Kinnear arrived in Seattle in 1878 and became active in various civic activities. He promoted road construction through Snoqualmie Pass, organized an immigration board, and was treasurer of a local power and railway company. In 1885, he moved into a large, new mansion on the south slope of Queen Anne Hill.
This photo, taken by Anders Wilse between 1897 and 1900, shows the Kinnear home on Queen Anne Avenue. With its turret, irregular shape, and fancy woodwork, it is an excellent example of the Queen Anne style of architecture which gave the neighborhood its name. Kinnear left the property to his church to develop a home for retired people. Bayview Retirement Community now occupies the site.

This is another AI-assisted collection, this time it features 20K+ images of manors. A manor is a large country house with lands, the principal house of a landed (country) estate. This collection took about 15 minutes to make, including adding about 18,000 relevant images as "manors" and removing portraits of people with "Manor" last names. Of course, image recognition was already done before and that process required much much longer time and machine resources. Please contact us if you need large image sets or need to tag your own large collections using our neural networks.
