  • 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.
