Seattle Stoneworks
Richard Rhodes’s interest in stonework began with a masonry apprentice-ship in Siena, Italy. Years later he
founded Rhodes, Ragen & Smith-a favorite destination for Jim Weinberg and Naomi Leff-with his wife, Pamela
Ottaviano Rhodes.
The company, which is located in a ca. 1900 carriage house in Seattle (above), offers every- thing from antique building materials to architectural
ornaments and stone sculptures. The inventory at Rhodes, Ragen & Smith includes granite, lime- stone, sandstone and terrazzo that has been salvaged from ancient roads in China,
Indonesia, France, India and Turkey.
“We’re always working to preserve objects and stone that have been carved by the artisans who came before us,” says Richard Rhodes. Rhodes, Ragen& Smith, 2011 E. Olive St., Seattle, WA 98122; 206/709-3024.p |
