Your daily commute down Boren Ave just got a little emptier. Holly Birge sent in this depressing camera phone photograph and word that the Northcliffe Apartment Building is indeed gone — destroyed. I
profiled the Northcliffe here last month. The large brick apartment building loomed over boren for over 80 years and will now be replaced with a Virginia Mason hospital wing. Thanks to Holly for sending in the photograph, as sad as it is.

Too bad they couldn’t have reused the building or at least maintained the facade. Looks from their campus like they USED to do that….oh well.

The hospital owned and operated the apartments as housing for families of patients from out of state when I worked there. Perhaps their growth will continue this tradition.

Oh, man, it was the one that had your name on it, Cliffe!
