The WSFGC voted to sell the Garden house at their June 5 Convention in Tacoma. With the rapid change and increasing density of Beacon Hill, this site offers a rare chance to preserve a piece of Beacon Hill history and open green space. Our chapter is in support of these community efforts.
Beacon Arts is spearheading the effort to organize and raise funds for landmark designation, for updates and more information on how you can help, visit the savegardenhouse.org website.

How you can help now:
- VENUE CHANGE! Show up Tuesday, Sept 11, 6:30 pm now at Garden House 2336 15th Ave S. Seattle City Council Members will be hearing community requests for the 2019 budget, including a request by Beacon Arts for assistance in preserving our historical Garden House as community space and protect it from development. The property will be listed this week, it’s crucial that we raise our collective voice NOW and demand protection of this heritage property.
- Donate! Beacon Arts is working on Landmark Designation for the house and grounds. Without the proper status, even with the Federation's intention to keep the house, garden, and orchard intact, this property could be torn down and redeveloped. Getting the designation requires funding for professional services.
- Follow the conversation on social media @savegardenhouse and keep your eyes out for updates on Beacon Hill and South Seattle pages. Help us spread the word!
- Join! Local non-profits can join the Seattle Beacon Hill Historic Preservation Coalition. Contact Beacon Arts for more information.
