Further possible references[edit]

If someone is working on this, further possible references passed to me by Seattle historian Rob Ketcherside:

April 28 1946 Seattle Times says it was 65 ft wide.
http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045604/1890-06-29/ed-1/seq-6/ The Seattle post-intelligencer., June 29, 1890, Page 6, Image 6, left column, says it should be written "Oleman House".
Frederic Grant in 1891 claimed it was pronounced "ol-e-man house": https://archive.org/stream/historyseattlew00grangoog#page/n84/mode/2up/search/old+man+house
"Here's a great account from the 1895 book Siwash, written by Seattle Times editor J A Costello. Page 43 is a chapter on it. Costello puts the structure at 1000 feet by 60 feet. In it is also a painting that I saw mentioned in a Seattle Times article by one R Coombs" https://archive.org/stream/cihm_14819#page/n41/mode/2up/search/old+man+house

I hope some of that is useful to someone; I had contacted him because for Architecture of Seattle I'm trying to find a clear citation for the (doubtless true) statement that there was no comparably large European American structure in the area at the time. - Jmabel | Talk 15:50, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
