Building History

Construction on this 3-story, H-shaped Tudor Revival complex began on 06/04/1923 and had begun to be occupied by 07/31/1924, replacing a Boone and Meeker-designed facility built 40 years earlier. The seminary, whose construction cost was estimated in 1923 at $600,000, consisted of one large red-brick building housing various functions: chapel, gym, swimming pool, administration offices, and classrooms and Principal's Cottage. The gym doubled as a theatre. The second and third floors housed dormitories and an infirmary.

In 1927, the Annie Wright Seminary served 75 resident and 125 day female students, separated into elementary and high school components. The large building was set on 10 acres of land in a residential section of Tacoma, WA.
