Founded in 1851, the City of Seattle is located on Puget Sound, 113 miles from the U.S.-Canadian border. Seattle is a commercial, cultural_and advanced technology hub of the U.S. Pacific Northwest and a major port city for Ira ns-Pacific and European trade. The greater Seattle area is a leading center for advanced technology in aerospace, computer software, biomedicine, electronics, medical equipment, and environmental engineering. Other major industries include wood products, transportation equipment, food products, fish-processing, and apparel design. Setting Sited southwest of the central business core, the hotel building lies just north of Pioneer Square, a National Register Historic District in the shadow of the imposing 1914 Smith Tower. The majority of the buildings directly to the north of the hotel serve in local, county, and federal government capacities, with Interstate 5 bordering to the northeast. To the southwest are numerous commercial buildings, beyond which runs the Alaskan Viaduct (Highway 99) and the commercial waterfront bordering Puget Sound. In the direct vicinity of the hotel are a number of notable historic buildings. Across Cherry Street to the north is the Dexter Horton Building,

  • Report on Designation Lpb 559/08
    REPORT ON DESIGNATION LPB 559/08 Name and Address of Property: MGM Building 2331 Second Avenue Legal Description: Lot 7 of Supplemental Plat to Block 27 to Bell and Denny’s First Addition to the City of Seattle, according to the plat thereof recorded in Volume 2 of Plats, Page 83, in King County, Washington; Except the northeasterly 12 feet thereof condemned for widening 2nd Avenue. At the public meeting held on October 1, 2008, the City of Seattle's Landmarks Preservation Board voted to approve designation of the MGM Building at 2331 Second Avenue, as a Seattle Landmark based upon satisfaction of the following standard for designation of SMC 25.12.350: C. It is associated in a significant way with a significant aspect of the cultural, political, or economic heritage of the community, City, state or nation; and D. It embodies the distinctive visible characteristics of an architectural style, period, or of a method of construction. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This building is notable both for its high degree of integrity and for its Art Deco style combining dramatic black terra cotta and yellowish brick. It is also one of the very few intact elements remaining on Seattle’s Film Row, a significant part of the Northwest’s economic and recreational life for nearly forty years. Neighborhood Context: The Development of Belltown Belltown may have seen more extensive changes than any other Seattle neighborhood, as most of its first incarnation was washed away in the early 20th century. The area now known as Belltown lies on the donation claim of William and Sarah Bell, who arrived with the Denny party at Alki Beach on November 13, 1851.

  • 180 Market Avenue Playhouse Theatre (Formerly Pantages Theatre)
    180 MARKET AVENUE PLAYHOUSE THEATRE (FORMERLY PANTAGES THEATRE) HISTORICAL BUILDINGS COMMITTEE September 30, 1980 180 MARKET AVENUE PLAYHOUSE THEATRE (FORMERLY PANTAGES THEATRE) From its early days, live theatre has had a solid tradition in Winnipeg. In the years before movies, television and radio, performance on some sort of public stage was a treasured form of entertainment, common to all leisured societies. The long winter evenings in Red River were particularly suitable for such social activity and by 1866, an amateur theatre group had been spawned. Other groups followed in succession, each providing bright moments of drama, comedy, music and variety. "Theatres" pressed into use included army huts, the upper floor of City Hall, a store and a church hall that creaked ominously when it held an enthusiastic crowd of 200 people.1 In the 1870s, the Theatre Royal and the Princess Theatre were both constructed for Winnipeg patrons but were both rather cheaply done. The Royal had a party wall with a stable and the animals would bray and whinny when the audience made noise. The Princess, like so many of its genre, caught fire from its wood stove and burned to the ground. Better facilities and a growing population eventually promoted local theatrical groups and permitted Winnipeg to lure travelling stock shows and the early vaudeville circuits. Still, the theatres were a little too quaint by our standards. In the winter, exits and windows were sealed to prevent drafts which resulted in serious fire hazard. In the summer, the auditoriums became oppressively hot and patrons were wedged in so tightly that those who fainted had no place to fall.2 In 1904, the Dominion Theatre in Winnipeg opened as the first of the well-built, permanent stages.

  • 96 Forgotten Movie Theater Pioneer: Alexander Pantages and Immigrant
    Forgotten Movie Theater Pioneer: Alexander Pantages and Immigrant Hollywood Taso G. Lagos Alexander Pantages was an unlikely motion picture theater pioneer and mogul. Born on the Greek island of Andros sometime between 1867 and 1875, Pantages’s meteoric rise in the motion picture exhibition business beginning in 1902 seems like a fairy-tale. Then suddenly in 1929 it all crashed down when he was accused of sexually assaulting a seventeen-year-old dancer. In between Pantages established his business with a keen focus on customer satisfaction, attention to detail, and building grand, ornate theaters. He was, by all accounts, one of the greatest film theater owners in the country at the time, a true film theater pioneer, yet today, he is hardly remembered by most Americans, including Greek Americans. Pantages as an historical figure presents many difficulties. As a functioning illiterate, he left few papers behind which were likely written by others. Records of the great theatrical company he built singlehandedly were not kept. He appears to have had little interest in documenting his career, or any sense of history to warrant saving his papers. Facts become a matter of conjecture in his world; he was once a master of publicity and a grand mythologizer. Despite these challenges, enough material exists to put together a rather hazy but significant account of his extraordinary contribution to the motion picture theater business. Contrary to Pantages’s own mythologizing, he was not born as a showman, yet his hard- scrabble, peripatetic life may have contributed to his nose for the entertainment business. His early life is enigmatic; the exact year of his birth, whether he was born on the Greek island of Andros, and if at birth he was really christened Alexander (and not Pericles) are all in dispute.

  • TIAS 515 Oral History Paper
    TIAS 515 Oral History Paper Civic Pride and the Ebb and Flow of Tacoma's Development Andrew Fry One ofTacoma's most respected and experienced civic activists has witnessed the ebb and flow ofsuccess resultant from attempts to apply policy and zoning orders to seed economic activity. Dawn Lucien is a life-long political advocate and tireless champion of the city of Tacoma. Three ofthe many watermark projects she has worked on provide insight into the varying degrees of success. These include the damage done to the downtown merchants when land was rezoned to accommodate the Tacoma Mall in the early 1960s, the beginnings ofa renaissance and revitalization ofthe Broadway district with the renovation ofthe historic Pantages Theater in the 1980s, and the dramatic and positive changes along Pacific Avenue and the downtown core brought by the location of a University of Washington, branch campus in Tacoma. Dawn Lucien has been an ever- present participant in public policy and a seeker of economic development. Her efforts are intertwined throughout these projects during the decades in which they developed. The Roots ofEconomic and Civic Engagement Dawn Lucien may have had the spirit of civic stewardship, the drive to build up a city, in her blood. It was evidenced far earlier in her family history when her grandparents came West with Brigham Young in 1846, but split from the church in opposition of some of its tenets. As Dawn recalls: My first recollection of my grandparents was when we traveled to Utah on the train when I was five years old. And I met twin cousins, and I met, my mother and my father both came from families of ten.
