Overview

This large, wood-frame apartment block, completed in 1923, contained 96 small residential units, referred to as "bachelor apartments." It had a brick exterior, with each window set off by contrasting sills and hood mouldings. Particularly notable was the grand terra cotta front entryway, containing an arched opening and the name "The Granada" incised in the frieze below the entablature.

Building History

The Swedish-born architect Johan (John) Alfred Creutzer, (1873-1929), designed this large apartment block in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, completed in 1923.

The Scheetz Family has owned the Granada since at least 1989. In 1989, ownership of the Granada changed from Nicholas B. Scheetz, et al., to Frederick B. Scheetz. In 1992, ownership, at least on paper, switched back to Nicholas. On 01/21/2004, Frederick B. Scheetz, Raymond Scheetz, Elizabeth C. Scheetz Von Doemming and Nicholas B. Scheetz all had an ownership stake, and they transferred title to an entity called “Breier Scheetz Properties, LLC.”
