In November, the Greenwood-Phinney Historical Society launched a contest to find the oldest house in the neighborhood. On Feb. 18, the society announced a winner.

Anna and Scott Sturgeon won the contest with their 1902 Phinney Ridge home.

While their house is not truly the oldest in the neighborhood, the Sturgeons completed the required research, including obtaining their building permit from 1902, and fulfilled the spirit of the contest – researching and treasuring our architectural heritage, the historical society said in a press release.

The Sturgeons received breakfast for two at Mae's Phinney Ridge Cafe and an autographed copy of "Seattle's Greenwood-Phinney Neighborhood" by Ted Pedersen.
