While 2013 featured only one Beach Drive home (and a lighthouse) turning 100, this year needs enough candles for a half-dozen! Check ’em out…
This Lowman Beach Cottage remembers when Lincoln Park was named Fauntleroy Park prior to 1922.
One of my favs to be sure on the 5000 block.
An extensive remodel in 2009 but the bones are unmistakably 1914. Being nestled right up against Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook, I’m pretty certain it witnessed some pretty swank Schmitz parties!
This gem is so well hidden these days, I had to use a county photo from 2003.
This most northern 100 yo on Beach Drive may have a 1914 sports page in the attic featuring the Boston Braves sweep of the Philadelphia A’s, 1st sweep in World Series history.
Think it knows it was built the same year as the Smith Tower??
This is one of those beauties that sits down from the street south of where the Peavey Saw Mill used to reside on Alki Ave. (now named Beach Drive).
*A majority of these photos were lifted off the King County Dept of Assessments site.

I’m interested in how to find older pictures of other homes on beach drive. Can you please provide instructions on how you did this. Thank you!
Hi Dan, There are 2 different sources for these archived photos. For this post, I simply googled the addresses & pulled up Zillow’s posting of the house. Scroll down to the “County Website” link that is located just above their Home Values section. Once at the county site, click the Property Detail tab located at the top right. Now scroll down to the photo section & click the blue camera icon above the photo for older pics. I’d go straight to the county website but their search by address query sucks.
For additional assessment photos that are available from the 1930’s, check this out… http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/State-archive-photos-can-make-great-holiday-gifts-2263233.php
We purchased one for our home & framed it for our dining room!
