The Steadfast House in Seattle

After a long hiatus from posting I'm looking forward to contributing some more.

A piece in the New York Times today informs us Edith Macefield's "Steadfast" house in Seattle looks like it will be torn down soon.
If you are interested in the story 99% Invisible did a fantastic podcast on the house last September.
The podcast has interesting details on Macefield's life, and her relationship with the construction superintendent, Barry Martin, who, while building the building around her, took care of her and eventually inherited the house.

While your at it, subscribe to 99%Invisible.  Its amazing.
