THE HISTORIC DOWN TOWN OF SNOHOMISH WA REQUEST A BROCHURE
"ANTIQUE CAPITAL OF THE NORTHWEST"
Architecture makes Snohomish unique
Snohomish’s historic business and residential districts feature an eclectic mix of turn-of-the-century architecture. Founded in 1859, Snohomish is listed in the National Historic Register as one of the oldest communities in Washington. Snohomish is not just another garden-variety rural town, but a community with a proud pioneer heritage beckoning to be discovered. Snohomish’s architecture is a curious potpourri where builders used a pick-and-choose mix of styling. This is evident on the Blackman House on the corner of Fourth Street and Avenue D. Although the house is a Dutch Colonial revival-style, it has Queen Anne towers. The Blackman House also sports the early lumberman’s name in brass letters in the sidewalk, and a leaded, beveled-glass door. Another example of fanciful architecture is the Klein house on Avenue D between First and Second streets. The house is a conglomerate of Victorian features, including fish-scale shingles and rounded windows. From Greek revival and English Tudor to Queen Anne Victorian and the classic box, the buildings of Snohomish reflect the diversity of its pioneer residents.
