Stimson-Rogers House – 128 Aloha St

Stimson-Rogers House, 1900

In 1888, Charles D. (C.D.) and Harriet Stimson built the mansion at 128 Aloha St. It occupied the entire block with a verandah all around – views of Lake Union, Puget Sound and the city.

It was rented to Capt. W.W. Robinson, Jr., U.S.A., from 1897 - 1902 when he was assigned to Seattle to build Fort Lawton in Magnolia.

In 1903, the Stimson family moved to their custom-built mansion on First Hill, later known as the Stimson-Green Mansion. At that time, they sold the house to Solomon and Eva Rogers.
