Overview
Paul Thiry's Museum of History and Industry #1 (MOHAI) suffered from a bad location, sited too near the ever-expanding 520 Bridge site.
Alteration
Additions were made in 1958, 1970, by Naramore, Bain, Brady, and Johanson (NBBJ), and 1961 by J. Lister Holmes. Efforts were made to move MOHAI to another site in 2007; these attempts failed and MOHAI was slated for demolition. The museum transferred to a location in South Lake Union.
