The "Ten-O-Five" Apartments, or the "Shire" as we prefer to call it, was our happy home for almost 2 years. It's a designated historic landmark, and was designed by Frederick William Anhalt, the man known to most Seattle residents as the creator of the 'castles' of Capitol Hill. Anhalt was a self-taught architect whose neo-norman architectural style was inspired by photo-gravures of the English countryside. Built in 1929, the Ten-0-Five building features the first underground parking garage created for an apartment building in Seattle. According to Anhalt, from the book, Builit By Anhalt, a Biography, he considered Ten-O-Five East Roy to be the finest apartment building ever built in the city of Seattle.
