Category:Schwabacher Building

This is a category about a building or other location within the Pioneer Square-Skid Road Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district has been successively enlarged, and hence has multiple NRHP IDs: 70000086, 78000341, and 88000739
English: Schwabacher Building / Gatzert and Schwabacher Building, 105 First Avenue South, Pioneer Square neighborhood, Seattle, Washington, USA. The building is "L"-shaped, and is the same building as 91 Yesler Way. The First Avenue frontage once matched that of the Yesler Way façade, designed by Elmer H. Fisher for the Schwabacher Brothers Dry Goods Company to replace their 2 & 3 story brick complex destroyed by the 1889 fire. Their new building was almost completely destroyed in 1892 in one of the first major fires to occur after the Great Fire. A firewall dividing the building in half helped save the Yesler Way portion, but the main portion had to be completely rebuilt, with Emil De Neuf, a former employee of Fisher (Fisher by that time had fallen from grace), handling the design. Note that this is not the slightly later (1905) Schwabacher Hardware Company Building at 401 First Avenue South that now forms the bulk of the Merrill Place Building Condominium. For more information see Summary for 105 1st AVE / Parcel ID 5247800046, Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. This is the same building, despite their having accidentally omitted "South" from the address.
