The Smith Block formed, with its neighbors, the Alaska Trade Building (1915) and the Butterworth Building (1906), a solid ensemble of low-rise, early-twentieth-century buildings on this stretch of 1st Avenue, a block northeast of the Pike Place Market. In 2012, the Coupe Rokei hair salon operated in the first-floor storefront. The office/retail building had a small 0.08-acre parcel, and contained 14,580 gross sqaure feet, 12,810 net, on three floors. Brick covered the front facade, with windows picked out with stone (or cast-stone) sills and keystones on the upper floors. Paired anchor plates under each window reinforced the Smith Block's brick walls.
