Exterior of Burke home "Illahee" on Lake Washington, circa 1898
Order an ImageJudge Thomas Burke and his wife Caroline had a large home on Seattle's Boyleston Avenue on Capitol Hill. They built a summer home, which they named Illahee, on the western shore of Lake Washington.
This photo shows the exterior of Illahee, the Burke's summer home on Lake Washington. The Burkes built their retreat in a fashionable rustic bungalow style, with rough wooden railings and stick-covered chimneys. Two Indigenous-style dugout canoes are tied up near the house.
