Since 1904, the Prescott-Harshman House has been a special part of Fall City’s story. Home to early settlers George and Sarah Prescott, the property was purchased by Newton and Julia Harshman in 1912 and became the headquarters of the Fall City Telephone Company, helping connect the growing community for decades.

Designated a King County Landmark in 1984 and lovingly restored and preserved in 1989, the home was given new life while honoring its rich history.

When Aroma Coffee Co. opened, we worked closely with King County Historic Preservation to preserve as much of the home’s character and history as possible. In recognition of those efforts, Aroma was honored with the John D. Spellman Award for Historic Preservation.

Today, Aroma Coffee Co. is proud to continue the legacy of this historic gathering place. More than a century after it first connected neighbors, the Prescott-Harshman House remains a welcoming hub where people come together over coffee, conversation, and community. The property is also a featured stop on Fall City’s Historic Signs Project, allowing visitors to explore and experience the rich history that has shaped our town.
