Category:Olympic Block, Seattle

The Olympic Block was built in 1890 by James Colman, who owned the Western half of the property, and the estate of Lewis Starr, who owned the other half; in early newspaper accounts the building was often referred to as the Colman-Starr Building. Charles Saunders & Edwin W. Houghton were the architects. The building partially collapsed during attempted renovations in the late 1980s and was subsequently demolished.
