Union Trust Building (Seattle)
The Union Trust Building on the corner of Main Street and Occidental Way South (Occidental Mall) in Seattle, Washington, USA, was one of the first rehabilitated buildings in the Pioneer Square neighborhood, now officially a historic district. In the 1960s, when the neighborhood was better known as "Skid Road", architect Ralph Anderson purchased the building from Sam Israel for $50,000 and set about remodeling it, a project that set a pattern for the next several decades of development in that neighborhood.〔Marcie Sillman, (Downtown: The First Downtown ), KUOW-FM, March 12, 2007. Accessed online 3 December 2007.〕 Anderson also rehabilitated the adjacent Union Trust Annex.〔(Summary for 117 S Main ST S / Parcel ID 5247800365 ), Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. Accessed online 3 December 2007.〕
==The main building==
The four-story building was one of the many that went up in the "burnt district" in the years after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889; it was erected in 1893. Highly praised at the time of its construction, it was designed by the architectural partnership Skillings and Corner (Warren Porter Skillings and James N. Corner). Used in its early years for a series of wholesale businesses (including Roy & Company, H N. Richmond and Company and John B. Agen), it was designed to carry loads of 250 pounds per square foot.〔(Summary for 119 S Main ST S / Parcel ID 5247800360 ), Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. Accessed online 3 December 2007.〕 The National Grocery Company occupied space in the building until moving into the much larger National Building at Western Avenue and Madison Street in 1904 which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.〔"National Grocery Company, Home of the Reliance Brand of Canned Goods" ''Seattle Times'' 7 Feb. 1904.〕
The original plan called for the use of white sandstone on the ground floor and red brick above, but "white" brick (actually very light gray) throughout was chosen instead, an unusual choice for the time, and a trendsetting one. It was also unusual (though not unique) for its time in having electric (rather than hydraulic) elevators.〔
The building is largely intact, although it is missing part of its original parapet.〔 Most likely caused by an earthquake in 1949 which damaged many buildings in the Pioneer Square district.
