You may only know Hotel Frye (or The Frye Apartments) as the subject of
Juan aka crazyscreamingguy aka The Frye Apartments Guy’s wrath. But long before Juan (or Pedro, the name he uses to “throw off the CIA”)
took up his sign, Hotel Frye went up in 1911 for Seattle pioneer George Frye (from architects Bebb and Mendel). The building has served as low-income apartments since the early 1970’s. Click on this postcard thumbnail for a higher-res look.

Good God Pedro drives me insane and has for years. I wish someone would kidnap him, put him in a shipping container and send him to Korea!

Good use of an old hotel.
