Building History
The Seattle architectural firm of Durham, Anderson and Freed designed the Seattle 1st National Bank Branch at 525 South Jackson Street, Seattle, WA. Lionel H. Pries, the noted architect and educator at the University of Washington, worked with Durham, Anderson and Freed at the time, and designed a metal screen and other ornamental bank elements. (See Jeffrey Karl Ochsner, Lionel H. Pries, Architect, Artist, Educator, [Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2007], p. 378.)
