Building History

The Seattle Times reported in its issue of 12/29/1908, that ""Josiah Collins is preparing to erect a three-story building on the east side of Second Avenue South, just below Yesler Way, after plans prepared by Somerville [sic] & Cote. The first story will be fitted up for stores and the upper rooms as offices." (See "Three-Story Building for Second Avenue," Seattle Times, 12/29/1908, p. 7.) Somervell and Cote was a highly-regarded Seattle architectural firm, that lasted only about three years, between 1906 and 1909.
