Mill Creek Residential Trust is planning 224 apartments on the site in two six-story buildings.

Seattle's Landmarks Preservation Board on Wednesday declined to nominate the Bonney-Watson Funeral Home at 1732 Broadway on Capitol Hill as a city landmark.

All nine board members in attendance voted to deny the nomination.

The landmark nomination application, submitted by David Peterson, is at http://tiny.cc/v9jroy under “Current Nominations.”

Mill Creek Residential Trust has the Bonney-Watson Funeral Home site under contract, and is working with Weber Thompson to design 224 apartments in two six-story buildings. They would be on separate parcels with separate addresses.

The larger parcel is at 1812 Broadway, north of East Howell Street. The smaller parcel is south of Howell, at 1732 Broadway.

Both buildings would have large shared decks facing east toward Cal Anderson Park on the sixth-floor levels, and apartments also facing Broadway.

The north building would have 137 units, as well as retail along Broadway and underground parking. The south building would have 87 units, retail on Broadway and underground parking.

The site is near Capitol Hill Station.

Bonney-Watson's funeral business was established in 1868.
