Category:62-68 South Washington Street (Seattle)

English: 62-68 S Washington St, Pioneer Square neighborhood, Seattle, Washington. Built 1890, just after the Great Seattle Fire. Originally built for the Harrington & Smith dry goods company, whose lineage could be traced back to one of Seattle's earliest stores started in the 1850s by Arthur A. Denny. After the death of partner Andrew Smith in 1892, who resided in San Francisco as a purchaser, the pioneer company quickly fell apart. The Puget Sound Machinery Depot occupied the building in the later half of the 1890s into the early 1900s. The building was later known as the Lowman and Hanford Printing and Binding Building, and currently the Washington Park Building.
