DescriptionHealy Building, Third Avenue, Seattle.png |
English: The Healy Building, also known as the Cobb-Healy Building at 1418-30 Third Avenue. Built in 1912, it was designed by Howells & Stokes for pioneer lumberman Charles H. Cobb (vice president of the Metropolitan Building Co. and builder of the landmark Cobb Building) and Nicholas C. Healy, doing business as the Cobb-Healy Investment Company. Envisioned as an 11-story office and retail building, only the first 3 floors, designed for department store use, were ever built. The ground floor was initially occupied by the MacPherson & Grey (later Starr & MacPherson) department store, and was later divided into smaller shops, with the upper floors variously occupied by card rooms, coffee shops and billiard parlors.
In 1940 this and the now heavily altered Abbott Hotel building at the corner of Pike Street were purchased by F.W. Woolworth Co., who, seeking to consolidate their 2 downtown stores, razed the Abbott and and stripped the Healy Building down to its concrete structure, re-cladding it with the current façade. |
