Significance |
|
The building at 1906 N. 34th Street is a recent but interesting and attractive Modern style remodel of a 1950s era utilitarian structure in Wallingford's industrial/waterfront area. This is the second of two buildings constructed at this site in the mid-1950s (according to the King County Assessor Property Characteristics Report for 1904 N. 34th Street). Tthe other is addressed as 1902 N. 34th Street and displays the early utilitarian Modern design vocabulary that most likely characterized the building at 1906 when the latter building was erected. These characteristics include concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls with striated vertical board siding and roman brick veneer at the south end and a flat overhanging roof with raked facia.

Appearance |
Unusually rich Modern expression for Wallingford recorded because of clarity and completeness of Modern remodel. Steel structural shapes (I beams and connectors) and concrete elements have been used extensively for design and decoration and develop an industrial aesthetic. The varnished timber elements and extensive use stainless steel cables for support of decorative elementsand furnishings give the building a somewhat nautical feel. |
