Home to the Bellevue Historical Society, this large, Spanish-style villa was built in the 1920s. Now surrounded by the Mercer Slough Nature Park, the Winters House was the first home in Bellevue to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The site is also home to the Eastside Heritage Center, which focuses on sharing its collection with the community through exhibits, books, presentations and a wide variety of education programs. The Frederick W. Winters House, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1929 by Frederick and Cecilia Winters. (The Winters House is important for both its distinctive architectural character reflecting the Spanish Eclectic style and its association with bulb growing and the floricultural industry in King County and Washington State. It is one of the few buildings associated with the past agricultural activity in the Bellevue area that remains on its original site.)
