|
This early twentieth-century commercial district between First Hill and Squire Park developed at a key location near the James Street car barn, surrounded by street car lines, residential areas and early institutions. The institutions have grown significantly, with Seattle University to the east and hospitals and medical buildings to the west. The original small homes have been replaced by newer apartment buildings. This mixed-use building, built in 1906, has been greatly altered as the neighborhood around it has changed.
