WA 7. Narrative Description Present Exterior Appearance The Laube Hotel, built in 1903 at 1226 North State Street, is an excellent example of early twentieth century brick commercial style architecture. A three-story red brick structure constructed with exterior load bearing walls and interior wood framing, the 55' wide x 125' long building rests on a concrete foundation and has a flat roof protected by built-up tar. (The building has no basement.) Located on the east side of State Street in Bellingham, Washington, the building's primary facade faces west and features classically inspired decorative elements including a cornice, articulated parapet, string courses, and other structural features. Decorative features are absent on the rear and sides of the building. This was typical of commercial architecture of the period, which placed primary importance on the front facade -. A one-story building adjoins the Laube on its north (side) facade, above which the only disruption of a solid brick face are two widely spaced window openings located at the second and third story levels. The faint ghosts of painted advertisements, one promoting the "Hotel Laube," can still be read on this wall. The building's south wall is connected by a party wall to the adjacent Windsor Hotel. Together, the two buildings present as a singular unit, although each has its own distinct style. Numerous window and door openings exist on the rear facade and are spaced with some regularity across the building face. Three-course brick
