Overview
This Brutalist reinforced concrete building has housed the American Red Cross's King County Chapter since 1970. Its au courantBrutalist styling is notable for its very sparse fenestration and rough-faced concrete exterior wall texture. Another Brutalist touch were the austere windows that projected on the exterior. These windows reflected the influence of previous Brutalist works by Marcel Breuer. They echo, with a more regularized geometry, Breuer's trapezoidal windows on the exterior of the Whitney Muesum in New York, NY, (1966).
Building History
