SUMMARY:See stone houses\, a bridge and crossing signs on WABI Burien's Walk-n-Talk on Sunday\, Mar. 3
DESCRIPTION:From our friends at WABI Burien: \n\n\n\n\nPeople who live in stone houses shouldn’t throw glass.\n\n\n\nWhy do we want to cross the bridge? To see one of the three stone houses nearby! \n\n\n\nLong ago\, at the north edge of Burien\, there were people building some very distinctive homes with stones and pebbles. Welcome the month of March by joining us on the Stone House Walk-n-Talk\, to marvel at three stone wonders and cross over the Peter Western bridge. This month’s walk will take us into the Boulevard Park and Hilltop neighborhoods (starting at Boulevard Park Library and walking past Hilltop Elementary).  \n\n\n\n\nDate: Sunday\, March 3\, 2024 (Rain or shine. Give your rain gear and umbrellas a workout.)\n\n\n\nTime: 2 p.m. meet-up. Walking starts at 2:15 p.m.\n\n\n\nWho: Walkers of every level and ability\, plus friendly\, four-legged friends\n\n\n\nPlace: Meet in front of the Boulevard Park Library\, 12015 Roseberg Ave S\, Burien\, WA 98168 (map below)Why not carpool with friends from Burien Town Square Park?!\n\n\n\nDistance: About 1.3 miles\, round trip. This is a shorter walk than usual\, but there’s more of a slope to the land.\n\n\n\n\nOur Walking Route:\n\n\n\n\nMeet in front of the Boulevard Park Library at 12015 Roseberg Ave S\, Burien\, WA 98168.\n\n\n\nCross S. 120th St. and walk north along Roseberg Ave. S.\n\n\n\nSee a beautiful\, old brick house and the first of the 1945 Stone & Pebble Houses. (On this same walk in 2016\, we talked to one of the homeowners. They had been in their home for over 20 years and spoke of the Italian man that had lived across the street and helped “pick rocks” for the house when he was just a kid.)\n\n\n\nWe’ll continue along Roseberg\, then go east along S. 116th St.\, cross over the Peter Western Bridge\, then a couple of blocks further to see the 1934 Stone Block House.\n\n\n\nGo back to and southbound along Military Road S. to the other 1945 Stone & Pebble House.\n\n\n\nTurn south along 24th Ave. S.\, walk by Hilltop Elementary School.\n\n\n\nCut west onto S. 124th St.\n\n\n\nHead north on 20th Ave. S. to end up back at the Library. (Click the map for a larger view.)\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to walking and chatting with neighbors\, one of the goals of the monthly Walk-n-Talk is to explore different neighborhoods in Burien. \n\n\n\nClick on the map below\, then print it out if you’d like it while you’re walking. \n\n\n\nClick on the photos to enlarge them for a better view. \n\n\n\nHamel Stone house at 11650 Roseberg Ave. S. Built in 1945\n\n\n\nDetail of the Hamel Stone house. Built in 1945. Note the “cut stone” blocks alternating with the “round pebble” blocks.\n\n\n\nNote the “cut stone” blocks alternating with the “round pebble” blocks.\n\n\n\nEven the mailbox of the Hamel house on Roseberg Ave. S. is decorated to mimic the house.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMulticolored\, stone block house at 2434 S. 116th Way. Built in 1934. This one is quite different from the others\, yet very interesting in its architectural traits.\n\n\n\nStone house at 2203 S. 118th St. Built in 1945.\n\n\n\nDetail of Stone house at 2203 S. 118th St. This house has some of the same characteristics as the house on Roseberg Ave. S.\, and was built in the same year\, 1945. They’re just a block away from each other and must have been built by the same person(s).\n\n\n\nDetail of Stone house at 2203 S. 118th St. Note the full abalone shells embedded into the concrete!\n\n\n\nAlong the way\, we can be amused by all the “crossing signs” we find:  \n\n\n\n\nHorse crossing\, Donkey crossing\, Doberman crossing\, Great dane crossing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLet’s cross the Peter Western Bridge!\n\n\n\nThe Peter Western Bridge in northeastern Burien was damaged in February of 2017\, subsequently rebuilt\, and reopened on December 21\, 2020. (See construction pictures and READ MORE on The B-Town Blog.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho was Peter Western? \n\n\n\n“Peter Western was from a pioneer family who settled in the Duwamish Valley where Peter was born in 1883\,” Researcher Karen Portzer said (via Maiya Andrews and Emily Inlow-Hood at the City of Burien). “He died in 1954.” Western was a farmer\, and he also owned a battery repair store in Boulevard Heights. He married Olive Avenell in Nov.\, 1911\, and fathered three children: John Henry Western (1912-1978)\, Donald Hovel Western (1916-1993)\, and William Avenell Western (1918-1988). Western resided at 11837 25th Ave S.\, and his son Donald appears to have lived at 2400 S. 118th\, which is near the bridge. (READ MORE here.) \n\n\n\nClick on the map below\, then print it out if you’d like it while you’re walking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRemembering Betsy Hamel\n\n\n\nWhen on the Stone House Walk in April 2016\, we stopped to admire the house on Roseberg Ave. The owner\, a nice woman named Betsy\, came out to talk to us and tour us around… A month-and-a-half later\, WABI got an email from Betsy’s sister\, who told me she had died just a couple of weeks after our visit: \n\n\n\n“Hello: I think it was in April on a Sunday that you notified Burien-ites of a walking tour of 3 rock homes in Burien. One was my sister’s home at 11650 Roseberg Avenue South. That was so wonderful because she loved her home and wanted so many to appreciate it. She was ill with Ovarian Cancer at the time; she died on May 1. On the tour day she was at home and came out to her front porch to talk to the folks who came by. She also had a beautiful garden\, which she was thrilled to talk about. I want you to know that it was one of her last fabulous days. She loved attention (and deserved it) and that day she got it.“ \n\n\n\nFor further information\, please contact Maureen at info@wabiburien.org. \n\n\n\nPeter Western portrait and bridge photos courtesy of the B-Town Blog. Thanks\, Scott!
