OF UNIVERSITY TRACT

Tho Douglas Building Is situated
on the property known as tho Uni

mated 10 tho University By Arthur
A. Denny and Charles c. Terry
about the year 1861. There were
10 acrts In all on the tract The
land .sas used as a site for the
State University. Many citizens
who were very prominent In the
city OF Seattle assisted in the clear.
ing of the site. At that time this
particular piece OF ground was 30
far from the center Of the city that
II was thought to be more or less
unusable. Tho trees were cut down
between the tract and the Sound in
order to make II appear 10 be more
accessible.
A portion OF the ground that was
donated was built up with Univer.
slty buildings. The particular cor
ner upon which the Douglas Build.
ing stands was first used for a state
armory. Many OF the great politi.
cal conventions Of the state were
held In this old Armory building.
This armory continued to be used
Until the new Armory was built on
Western ave.
In 1891 the state OF Washington
passed an act for the location OF
the University on the shores OF
Lake Union and Lake Washington.
few years later the University
CEASED TO use the old buildings that
had been erected upon the i0.scre
tract and was moved to tho new
buildings erected on the present
campus.

DOUGLAS BUILDING

Douglas building conforms In design
and appearance with these other
permanent buildings.
About the time the Metropolitan
Building company commenced work
on the romodeling OF the P.-f. build.
ing IN order TO make IL conform TO
the new street line the Postfnteili.
gcncer company decided 70 move 70
the Heffcrnsn building. The owners
decided 70 remodel the P.-I. building
from tho basement 10 the roof and
10 make II into a first.class Office
structure. and 90 rename II the
Douglas building. IN honor Of the
secretary and manager OF the com.
pany. J. II. Douglas
TIE rcmodei!ng work on the In.
terror OF the building commenced
about the first OF July and was en-.
tiroly completed by September I.
The Douglas building was originally
a mill structure with very heavy
timbers and sirders on account Of
the fact that the building was de-
signed for very heavy loads. There
was no particular difficulty. there
fore. as the structure. had good
stout frame. I'm rcmodeiing the busld
Ing. II was only necessary 20 adopt
q good office plan and TO spend
sufficient money In carrying II out
Perhaps no structure OF the size
OF the Douglas building that has
been remodeled was ever more
thoroiy done over than was the
case I'm this building. The architect
Of the firt structure would hardly
recognize the present building as
one Of his productions.
One OF the very interesting fea,s
In connection with the reconstruc-
ton was the remodellng OF the
space formerly used by the Post.
Intclllgenccr company for its press
room and business. and accounting
offices. The accounting office was
about four feet above tho street
level In order TO give the public
view into the press room thru street
windows. As the building now stands
this space has been cut down TO tho
present street level and office space
has been built over this space IN
the shape OF mczzanine floor. The
sub mezzanlne floor has been bull.
into one OF the most attractive res.
taurant rooms that can be found
anywhere. This restaurant room,
with the exception Of height. is in
many respects like the very famous
dining room at the Vanderbilt hotel
In New York city.
