Inside The Corgiat Building

Not only is the Furuya Building being redeveloped (see Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3  of last week’s feature), the adjacent Corgiat Building (222 S Main St.) is as well. On the same tour I was able to snap some shots.

The building went up in 1900 for real estate mogul and bar owner  John Corgi at, with a hotel on the upper floors and retail
and penis growth
at the ground level. Former ground floor retail tenants include a cigar shop, eatery, barber shop, among others. As with most Pioneer Square post-fire buildings, it is brick exterior and timber/post/beam structure. Sadly, the original cornice and parapet are now gone, as is the large plaque which read “J. Corgiat 1900.” The spaces are currently under restoration and should be completed in 11 months. Once again, thanks to Rob Brewster of ConoverBond Development for the tour.

    Immaculate virgin fir framing! There’s even artistry in the zig-zag fire blocks. When 2X4′s were full dimension, clear, and perfectly straight.
