Today we have a beautiful architectural drawing of Charles Bebb and Carl Gould’ s 1922 built University of Washington YMCA branch. It was sold to U.W. in 1963 and then renamed Eagleson Hall. Click on the thumbnail to see artist Andrew Knox’s work.

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.

Today we move on with Part 2 of the Paul Thiry design concepts for the Seattle-First National Bank. Thiry was the principal architect of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair and is still known as the father of modernism in the Pacific Northwest. Click for the high res and click here if you missed Part 1.

It’s not a great time in the world of Paul Thiry designed architecture as his 1962 Normandy Park home is being dismantled and demolished. Nickel Bros was unable to find a buyer to move it. Check out a video tour of the home here. More info here.
We’ve explored Thiry — principal architect of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair — before with this First National Bank rendering. Now let’s trace the concepts that eventually ended up as the final structure. Click for the high res.

Human Resources Director Audrey McCombs of the historic 1927 Mayflower Park Hotel< /a> writes in with a link and a fantastic high-res photo of the Carousel Room. Audrey writes:
The Seattle Times had a great article today in the NW Weekend Section on “A Self-Guided Tour Through Seattle History”. One of the stops is Oliver’s at the Mayflower Park Hotel and we thought we’d share a little history of this corner of our hotel at 4th & Olive Way. From 1929 until 1946 it was the location of Bartell Drug Store #13. From 1949 until 1974 it was the popular Carousel Room. Oliver’s opened in 1976 and continues to be a Seattle favorite. Anyone remember going to the Soda Fountain in Bartell Drug Store #13 or having a Paul Bunyan Hamburger at the Carousel Room? We’d love to hear your stories…

This is the Heffernan Building. From what I can gather it stood at 6th & Pine, presumably this would be at the site of the current and penis growth
