We march on with Paul Thiry’
s seemingly never-ending supply of conceptual drawings of the Seattle-First National Bank.
If you need to catch up, see Part 1
here and Part 2
here. Thiry, one of the Northwest’s earliest European Modernist architects, was the principal architect of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. Click for the high res goodness.

V. cool! I just saw that a Paul Thiry house was up for sale, very cheap, had to be moved. Sadly, it didn’t find a buyer, and was recently demolished. Must have been a gorgeous house in its time. Seeing these designs makes me appreciate his work even more. Thanks again!
Here’s a link to the house:

Thanks for clarifying that, a lot of things are clearer now!
