| Description |
Drawing of a market building and auditorium planned for Seattle, Washington c. 1905. Never executed, but Union Station (built about 5 years later) looks (to me - Jmabel ! talk) like it might have been a reworking of this design. From the Seattle Times January 21, 1905: "During the week Saunders & Lawton, the architects for the fine market building to be put up on the block bounded by Fourth and Fifth Avenues and Seneca and University Streets, let the contract for the excavation of the site for a sum approximating $25,000. The ground area of the building, which is being put up by the Central Market Company, will be 256x240 feet. The structure will cost $150,000. The market proper will occupy the entire floor space of the first story and the second story will be an immense convention hall, seating 7,000 people." This block would remain vacant until 1911 when the Metropolitan Theatre was built (with the same orientation as the convention hall in the drawing) and later the Olympic Hotel around it. |
