The Samuel Hyde House, also called the Samuel Hyde Mansion, is a two story neoclassical building at 3726 East Madison Street in Seattle, United States that had most recently been used as residence for Russia's Seattle consul general. On December 28, 1981[1][2] it was designated a Seattle landmark, and on April 12, 1982 it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.[3][4]
History
The building was built in 1909–1910 by John Charles Olmsted and the architecture firm Bebb & Mendel for liquor magnate Samuel Hyde.[5][3] The two-story brick house is fronted by a portico with Corinthian columns;[1] there is a brick carriage house in back. The grounds were laid out by the Olmsted Brothers.[5] The Olmsteds played a prominent role in designing Seattle's system of parks and boulevards, and were responsible for landscaping the grounds of the 1909 Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition on the campus of the University of Washington.[1][3]
The house was sold by Hyde six years after completion so he could focus his attention on his coal industry investments.[6] Prior to 1994 the house would go thru numerous owners.[6]
On April 21, 1994 the US government purchased the house for $1.1 million, and the US Office of Foreign Missions has had ownership of the location since then.[7] From 1994–April 2018 the US government has allowed the house to be used as residence for Russia's Seattle consul general,[8][1] and in April 2018 the US State Department evicted the consul general[9] following the White House ordered closure of Russia's Seattle consulate office.[10]
As of early 2025 the US and Russian governments are in talks to opening the house again.[11]
