William D. Hofius Residence, 1902
First Hill
Architect: Spalding and Umbrecht
This First Hill mansion is actually a simple Four Square box in plan, but with an elaborate Venetian Gothic portico grafted onto it. Originally built for a local steel- and heavy-equipment entrepreneur, it now serves as the Roman Catholic archbishop’s residence.
