Located in Seattle’s Delridge neighborhood, this American Renaissance style brick school building was designed in 1917 by noted Architect Edgar Blair, with a significant expansion completed in 1929 by Architect Floyd Naramore. In 1989, the building was vacated due to seismic safety concerns, but rehabilitation was part of a larger neighborhood plan. Improvements included seismic strengthening, the addition of an elevator, and improved accessibility. Care was taken to integrate new programs without compromising the building’s historic characteristics. The completed facility is a vibrant arts community and an invaluable neighborhood resource. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
