TheSamuel Hyde House, also called theSamuel Hyde Mansion, is a two storyneoclassical building at 3726 East Madison Street inSeattle, United States that had most recently been used as residence for Russia's Seattleconsul general. On December 28, 1981[3][5] it was designated a Seattle landmark, and on April 12, 1982 it was listed in theNational Register of Historic Places.[6][7]
The building was built in 1909–1910 byJohn Charles Olmsted and the architecture firmBebb & Mendel for liquor magnate Samuel Hyde.[8][6] The two-story brick house is fronted by aportico withCorinthian columns;[3] there is a brickcarriage house in back. The grounds were laid out by theOlmsted Brothers.[8] The Olmsteds played a prominent role in designing Seattle's system of parks and boulevards, and were responsible for landscaping the grounds of the 1909Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition on the campus of theUniversity of Washington.[3][6]
The house was sold by Hyde six years after completion so he could focus his attention on his coal industry investments.[9] Prior to 1994 the house would go thru numerous owners.[9]
On April 21, 1994 the US government purchased the house for $1.1 million, and the USOffice of Foreign Missions has had ownership of the location since then.[10] From 1994–April 2018 the US government has allowed the house to be used as residence for Russia's Seattleconsul general,[2][3] and in April 2018 theUS State Department evicted the consul general[11] following the White House ordered closure of Russia's Seattle consulate office.[12]
As of early 2025 the US and Russian governments are in talks to opening the house again.[13]
