A trip back on time with this mid 19th century piano 🎹 that was donated by one of the members of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
If you’ve ever came to tour Rainier Chapter House or if you’ve been here to one of our events, you probably seen this covered with a velvet cloth.
You may have been able to notice the carvings on the knees and legs of the piano! Isn’t this gorgeous?

Sunny days are the best days to admire all the treasures from the Rainier Chapter House.
We have a lot of antique pieces and this 200 year old mahogany grandfather clock is gorgeous!!!
It has a scroll top and it is 98” high. The clock was donated by Mr. C.E. Belknap in honor of his late sister Addie Belknap Connelly, a Rainier Chapter member!

Such an amazing presentation by in our Memorial Room. Although he wasn’t able to be physically present he joined through all the way from Canada 🇨🇦. He delighted us with his tales from the time he prepared a traditional Thanksgiving meal just like our ancestors did the very first thanksgiving.

A Bit About Our House
Soon after the NSDAR Rainier Chapter formed in 1895, membership soared. Outgrowing their meeting locations, the women began setting their sights on building their own purpose built chapter house that could also be used for various social meetings and events. By the early 1920s, the chapter had saved enough money to purchase land, and hire a local architect, Daniel Riggs Huntington, best known for designing the Lake Union Steam Plant. It was under the instruction of Eliza Ferry Leary, a member of the chapter, to have the house resemble a replica of Mount Vernon, President George Washington’s beloved home. Given the DAR ties to the Revolutionary War, it seemed fitting to design their house distinctive to the Revolutionary period, and Mrs. Leary had great knowledge on the subject, as she was the Vice President of the Mount Vernon Ladies Association. Mr. Huntington stayed so close to the original Mount Vernon, it was stated in the January 14, 1934 addition of the Seattle Sunday Times, that a visitor passing by inquired, “Have they given it to this state, named after him?” The exterior was not the only part that stayed true to the original home. Once inside you’ll notice the grand staircase, the built-in corner cabinet in the dining room, and the fireplace in the reception room, and the federalist style mirror in the women’s lounge. After the house was complete, it was then decorated with many antique pieces of furniture, donated by the women in the chapter, dating back to the late 18th century. It wasn’t long after they opened, the chapter had its first rental, the Fruit and Flower Mission Easter Monday Card Game, followed by a tea. Since then, the house has seen many meetings, card games, weddings, anniversaries, and other special events. It has been with great dedication and pride that the next generations of DAR members have kept the founding members vision alive. Nearly 100 years later, you can still enjoy the historic charm of our beautiful Rainier Chapter House.
