Overview

A number of workingman's hotels were built in the Belltown neighborhood, on the northern periphery of Downtown Seattle, during the 1900s, including the Douglas, Oregon (1902) and the Guiry (1903). Their construction coincided with great industrial expansion in the city as well as imassive topographic alterations caused by multiple regrades and the filling of coastal lands for commercial uses.

Building History

The masonry-clad Douglas Building had saloon and bowling alley on its first floor and lodging on its second and third in 1905. The saloon had an address of 2300 1st Avenue, while the entrance to the hotel above was at 2300 1/2 1st.
