5th Avenue Theatre entryway, Seattle - The Pine Box (Beer Inside)
The Pine Box - a Capitol Hill bar located in an old mortuary - Ark Lodge Cinema
Ark Lodge #126, Columbia City, Seattle; John L. McCauley, 1921. The facade is neoclassical, with four Ionic pilasters. At the top of the pediment, here obscured by the tree, is a Masonic square and compass, still intact. Below it, the lettering reads "Ark Lodge 126 F.& A.M.", or "Free and Accepted Masons". Seattle architect John L. McCauley (1879-1957), himself a Freemason, designed and built this meeting space in 1920-21 for the Ark Lodge #126 chapter. The upper story served as the Masons' assembly space, while the ground floor provided income for the chapter as retail spaces. From 1921 until the 1940s, the ground floor was occupied by the Heater Glove Factory, which made leather gloves and helmets; Charles Lindbergh wore a Heater helmet on his transatlantic flight. The Masons continued to meet here until 2002, when they sold the building, and it was converted to a cinema. The marquee was added and the second-floor assembly hall became a 204-seat auditorium. After additional remodeling, the building now contains four theatres. arklodgecinemas.com/ - Western Pacific Chemical Company, 1940

Tacoma City Hall since 1977; previously Rhodes Medical Arts Tower. Built 1930-1931 by John Graham & Associates. 17 stories. Though my camera was precisely centered, the bottom of the photo appears asymmetrical; this is because the building is built on a hillside. The two sides of the entrance are of unequal length, as the sidewalk slopes upward to the right. - Municipal Building, Tacoma
