What's in a Name?

Constructed is 1912 as The Boulevard Inn, this stately mansion was once the entertainment center for Seattle’s “social elite.” The owners envisioned the Boulevard as more than just an Inn; their desire was for a quietly elegant atmosphere where their clientele could dine in intimacy and dance in the ballroom and lighted terraces. Frequently visited by such personalities as Sophie Tucker, Ethel Barrymore, George Cohan,

The Boulevard Inn operated though the late 1930s when famed architect Elizabeth Ayer redesigned the Inn and converted it to her private residence. In 1980, a Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famer purchased the property and resided there. She then renamed the property Ol’ Yeller.
