This was designed in 1923 as a warehouse-office by Albert Wickersham and as an addition to the original eight story Seattle Hardware Company Building, also designed by Wickersham in 1904. It was originally planned to rise to the same height as the original building. It mimics many of the elements of the original building, particularly the stone piers which are rectangular in plan with rounded edges. Based on historical photos, it originally consisted of five bays, set between piers, with large two over two windows.

| Appearance |
| This is an annex to the main Seattle Hardware Company Building. It is two stories in height, rectangular in plan and continues the belt course as well as the storefront of the adjacent building. Major piers and thinner piers are rectangular in plan with rounded edges, as in the main building. The regular storefront clerestory is multi-pane glass. A large central expanse of the façade has a veneer of thin black plexiglass, added more recently. Within this bay, the entry is a wide rectangle with two small windows placed symmetrically. |
