Among the notable residents of Cascade were [[cubist]] artist Nicolai Kuvshinoff and his wife Bertha Horne Kuvshinoff, who dubbed her ghostly style of painting "phantasism". Both are represented in the permanent collection of the [[Seattle Art Museum]]. Kuvshinoff arrived in Cascade from [[Russian Empire|Russia]] in 1915. His father, the Rev. Vasily Kuvshinoff, brought with him icons and relics given to him by the Romanovs, which he bequeathed to St. Spiridon Orthodox Cathedral, where he officiated. Nicolai Kuvshinoff appears to have painted religious murals in the Cathedral. From 1955 to 1960 Kuvshinoff and his wife lived and worked in [[Paris]], but they returned to Cascade, where they remained until Nicolai's death in 1997 (Bertha lived two years longer). During most of their time in Cascade, they lived in the former Rodgers Tile Company building at 117-121 Yale Ave. N, later the 911 Contemporary Arts Center and now the Feathered Friends outdoor equipment shop.<ref>[http://web1.seattle.gov/DPD/historicalsite/QueryResult.aspx?ID=-1712805934 Summary for 117 Yale AVE / Parcel ID 6849700075], Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.
