Frederick W. Winters House
Bellevue's only building on the National Register of Historic Places, a 1929 Spanish Eclectic mansion.
The Frederick W. Winters House is a Spanish Eclectic-style mansion built in 1929 by Frederick and Cecilia Winters along what is now Bellevue Way SE. It is the only building in Bellevue listed on the National Register of Historic Places, earning that designation in 1992.
Owned by the City of Bellevue and restored in partnership with the Eastside Heritage Center, the house has served as a heritage exhibit space and the center's headquarters, with programming on local history. The surrounding grounds reflect the area's early-20th-century estate and strawberry-farming past.
The house closed in 2016 for the construction of Sound Transit's East Link (2 Line) light rail extension, which passes nearby, and its reopening has been tied to the completion of that project.
