Liste der City of Seattle Landmarks

The Wintonia Apartments, originally Wintonia Hotel, commonly "The Wintonia", 1431 Minor Ave, Seattle, Washington, USA. The building has city landmark status. It is now transitional housing for individuals coming from emergency housing and shelter programs or directly from the streets. Of its 90 units, 45 are reserved for previously homeless men and women who are disabled by chronic alcoholism. It stands as a reasonably unusual program, in that it works with alcoholics without demanding sobriety as a first step.

Providence Campus of Swedish Hospital (from its construction in 1911 until 2000, Providence Hospital), Seattle, Washington.

Nelson/Steinbrueck House, 2622 Franklin Avenue E, Eastlake, Seattle, Washington.

• The house is considered a city landmark.

Alley24, 224 Pontius Avenue N. in the Cascade neighborhood, Seattle, Washington, USA. This mixed-use building incorporates the old New Richmond Laundry Building (a Seattle landmark built in 1917 by architect Max Umbrecht, which previously had the same address; it operated as a laundry until 1999).

Here's a good writeup about the New Richmond Laundry Building, written shortly before the Alley 24 project:

• Ira Harding, The New Richmond Laundry, part of an an extensive site about the Empire Laundry that lasted a similar duration at 66 Bell St. in Seattle's Belltown.

Camlin Hotel, Seattle, Washington

1409 East Prospect Street, on the corner of 14th Avenue E, Seattle, Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington, USA, immediately across the street from the south entrance to Volunteer Park. One of the houses on what was historically known as "Millionaire's Row", the roughly two blocks on 14th Avenue E leading to the south entrance of Volunteer Park.

McGraw Square, the small traffic island in the left foreground of this photo, is an official city landmark, as are the Monorail and the Times Square building itself. Several years later, the park was expanded: the portion of Westlake Avenue at left became part of the park.

The "forbidden zone" at the heart of Seattle's Gas Works Park (considered by the city to be too dangerous because of the towering structures of the old gas works) was opened as a hardhat zone during part of the 2007 Fremont Fair. This picture was taken at that time.

The Alexis Hotel, 1001--1023 First Avenue, Seattle, Washington, USA. The hotel brings together three older buildings running an entire block along First Avenue; they are listed together as the "Globe Building, Beebe Building and Hotel Cecil" on the National Register of Historic Places, ID #82004235. That ordering is south-to-north.

Washington Hall (also Washington Performance Hall), 153 14th Avenue, Seattle, Washington, USA. Built 1908 as a settlement house by the Danish Brotherhood Society in 1918 it was the site of the NAACP's "Grand Benefit Ball", Seattle’s first documented jazz performance. Among those who appeared there over the years were Billie Holliday, Marian Anderson, Mahalia Jackson, W.E.B. du Bois, Joe Louis, Duke Ellington, Martin Luther King Jr., and Jimi Hendrix.

From 1958 the building housed the Sons of Haiti Masonic Lodge. From 1978–1998 it was the leased home of avant-garde theater On the Boards, and was also the site of quite a few punk rock shows from the late 1970s into the 1980s. As of 2007, it looks like it's in a bit of a limbo; I think it's for sale. (See Pam Sitt, Historic theaters still in operation, Seattle Times, August 12, 2001. Sitt doesn't mention the punk rock shows, but I can vouch for those first-hand. - Joe Mabel)

The Cowen Park Bridge, spanning Cowen Park in Seattle, Washington and connecting the University District to the Ravenna neighborhood, seen from below. The bridge is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Ballard-Howe House, 22 West Highland Drive, Queen Anne Hill, Seattle, Washington, USA. The Colonial/Georgian Revival house, designed by Emil de Neuf and completed in 1901, is on the National Register of Historic Places, ID #79002536.

Snagboat W. T. Preston in dry berth by Cap Sante Marina, Anacortes, Washington. Operated by the City of Anacortes.

Third Avenue side of Dexter Horton Building, 710 Second Avenue, Seattle, Washington, USA. Built 1924; when it was built, it was the largest office building in the U.S. (Heather MacIntosh, Seattle's Canyon of Dreams: Preservation along Second Avenue, Preservation Seattle (online magazine of Historic Seattle), May 2003.) Not the only building of this name in Seattle (there is an older one in the Pioneer Square neighborhood). The Dexter Horton Bank was one of the banks that merged to form what became Seattle First National Bank (Seafirst), eventually absorbed into the Bank of America.

The building is a Seattle landmark.

Unofficial map of the Queen Anne neighborhood. Queen Anne Boulevard marked in red. The boulevard has status as a Seattle City landmark.

This building at the corner of NW Market St. and 15th Ave NW, Ballard, Seattle, Washington, was originally (1964) Manning's Cafeteria, and then (1984) became a Denny's chain restaurant. It was shuttered when the location was supposed to be used for a station for a monorail that was never built. The building was granted city landmark status February 20, 2008, which most likely means that it will be incorporated into the apartment complex expected to go up on that block.

Clubhouse of the Seattle Yacht Club. Originally built in 1892 at the base of Duwamish Head, moved to its present location on Portage Bay in 1920 (when the Duwamish River was being rechanneled producing Harbor Island, etc.)

Lake Union Steam Plant, Eastlake, Seattle, Washington.
The original small Mission-style Lake Union Water Power Auxiliary Plant was built 1912. It was vastly extended north in 1914, with further additions up to 1921 as City Light Plant No. 3. Eventually, as clean air laws were adopted, the pollution generated by the plant in the heart of the city became unacceptable. The building was eventually repurposed for biotech as Zymogenetics headquarters. The current smokestacks are not the originals. However 4 of the 6 stacks are functional and used for general building and laboratory exhaust.

Seattle Labor Temple, 2800 1st Avenue, Belltown, Seattle, Washington. The original structure was built in 1942. The auditorium on the north side dates from 1946, and the smoothly integrated upper story dates from 1955. Besides the union hall & offices, the building includes a bar and a restaurant.

McGraw-Kittenger-Case Building, on the former "film row", 2nd Avenue, Belltown, Seattle, Washington. The building was MGM's office in Seattle until about 1980, the last film company office on film row.

The old Seattle Times Building, downtown Seattle, Washington. The building is now called the Times Square building and is a mix of offices and retail. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The view is on Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington. The point of view is from a high window or a roof on the south side of E. Pine Street, looking roughly north by northeast. The park is now (2007) Cal Anderson Park. The reservoir in the near background was covered in 2006, but it is still there underground, and retains the Lincoln name. The building at left is still there, as are a few others, probably most notably the water tower on the horizon (about 20% across from the left), which is in Volunteer Park. The church at right also survives; it is the German United Church of Christ, 1107 E Howell Street. I believe that both of the apartment buildings at the far corner of the park are also still there, and it wouldn't surprise me if some of the private homes are still there, or were until quite recently.

A 1973 remodel into a "twin" cinema removed the marquee and a mast and "crow's nest" and changed the old balcony into new projection booths. However, the lobby decoration is generally intact, as is the overall structure.

Like several other early Seattle cinemas (including the one that now survives as the Columbia City Theater), the auditorium ran parallel to the street rather than at a right angle, so that seen from the street the building is "wide" rather than "deep"; several stores are nestled between the auditorium and the street.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places with ID #89002098.
