The William E. Boeing House is a historic mansion located in the gated community of The Highlands in Shoreline, Washington.
The house is named after William Boeing, the founder of The Boeing Company, who named it Aldarra. Located at the edge of a wooded bluff overlooking Puget Sound, it was completed in 1914, and was designed by Charles Bebb [2] in the Mediterranean Revival style with a white stucco façade and red tile roof, and eight fireplaces. The floorplan is approximately 19,000 square feet (1,800 m2). [3]
Boeing occupied the house from its completion until 1954, when he moved to his country estate near Fall City, Washington, and donated the property to Children's Orthopedic Hospital, now known as Seattle Children's. [2] The hospital sold the property to John Elroy McCaw shortly after acquiring it, and it was sold again after McCaw's death in 1969. [4]
The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [3] It is a private residence and not open to the public. [3]

Pioneer Square is a neighborhood in the southwest corner of Downtown Seattle, Washington, US. It was once the heart of the city: Seattle's founders settled there in 1852, following a brief six-month settlement at Alki Point on the far side of Elliott Bay. The early structures in the neighborhood were mostly wooden, and nearly all burned in the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. By the end of 1890, dozens of brick and stone buildings had been erected in their stead; to this day, the architectural character of the neighborhood derives from these late 19th century buildings, mostly examples of Richardsonian Romanesque.
