Summary
| Description |
G.S. Sanborn Building, Ballard Avenue (historic district), Ballard, Seattle, Washington. According to http://www.ballardhistory.org/walking%20tour_web.pdf, this 1901 sandstone building is the district's only example of "the Romanesque architecture style popularized by architect H.H. Richardson in the eastern United States in the 1880s–1900." The Sanborn Building's design is credited to the Fehren-Marvin Co., a realty and investment firm that employed an in-house draftsman (John B. Tarleton, according to the 1901 city directory). Early on, it was the home of G.B. Sanborn's grocery store and French & Nelson Dry Goods and later (1913–1918) Hauff's Department Store, which the same source describes as "landmark businesses during Ballard Avenue's early years". The second story was occupied by lodgings, connected to the second floor of the adjoining building, which was built by the Fraternal Order of Eagles who would create a shared stairwell between the two buildings and occupy the second floor of both from 1904 to 1908. While the third floor with its cathedral-like central window was intended for Ballard's Chamber of Commerce it was used instead as a public hall, known appropriately as Sanborn Hall. |
