This is a vestige of an original three story building, which the King County Tax Assessor’s Records date from 1910. According to photos from the 1930s, the building at that time housed the Circle Theater. It was also supposed to have been a “flophouse.” It was severely damaged during the Earthquake of 1949 and as a result, its top two floors were removed. The building has lost its architectural integrity and does not contribute to the district.
