Illustrated in the Architectural Forum.

San Francisco-based architect Henrik Bull presided over the restoration of the Sentinel Building (later named the Columbus Building) in 1958. Bull was an early advocate of adaptive reuse in the Bay Area and the West Coast. In Seattle, by the early 1960s, architect Ralph Anderson also began rehabilitating derelict buildings in the Pioneer Square Neighborhood of Downtown.
