Barnabee, summer home of Jacob Furth, ca 1905 (MOHAI 7100)

In 1894, Seattle businessman Jacob Furth and his family built a summer home on Yarrow Point on the east shore of Lake Washington. They named the house "Barnabee" after a famous Shakespearian actor of the time. Barnabee was a working farm, complete with dairy cows, chickens, fruit trees and vegetable gardens. The house was torn down in 1973.
