Seattle, Washington. 1925. This Mediterranean style, brick bungalow was built with bootleg gin profits by a crooked, Seattle judge as a reward for a local police lieutenant who helped him supply speakeasies during Prohibition. Even the judge must have felt it was ironic that he was later arrested, caught smuggling the illegal hooch by a photographer from the bungalow's living room window! The house was still remarkably intact when the current owners bought it in 1981 and they had to make only minor, cosmetic repairs.
