Green House
built 486 days ago
The Green House residence is designed to be a home for six to ten elders. It blends architecturally with neighboring homes, includes vibrant outdoor space, and utilizes aesthetically appealing interior features. The first Green House homes were designed by Richard McCarty, The McCarty Company, in Tupelo Mississippi. Richard and Dr. Thomas collaborated to create an environment that would be a home to the elders. The results were houses where each elder has a private room or unit with a private bathroom. Elders' rooms receive high levels of sunlight and are situated around the hearth, an open kitchen and dining area.

The Green House is a trademarked model. Any nursing care facility bearing that label must meet certain standards for construction, living arrangements, care, and other features. Dr. Thomas was interviewed on the Lehrer News Hour (hear the podcast) about his notion that, "The American nursing home is finished."

In 1914, Stimson decided to live in The Highlands, an exclusive, new development he was sponsoring near Lake Washington, so he sold the house to Joshua Green. Green had moved to the Pacific Northwest about the same time as Stimson, founding a steamship company that made him similarly wealthy. His investments later expanded to insurance, transportation, and finance. Instead of following through on his plans to retire in 1926, he purchased the small, failing People's Savings Bank. In 10 years he turned it into a national bank titled People's National Bank of Washington, which is now one of the largest in the state. He ... became known as a sportsman and a philanthropist, and a mountain and river in Alaska are named for him.
