Cobb Building (Seattle)

The 11-story Cobb Building was the third structure in Seattle's Metropolitan Tract and the only surviving building in the 10-acre tract. The Howells & Stokes architectural firm designed the building and sent Albert H. Albertson to supervise its 1909-1910 construction. Sculpted Native American ornaments at the 9th and 10th floor cornice are attributed to Victor G. Schneider. An early example of a high-rise medical office center, the Cobb Building later became commercial office space and recently was renovated for apartments.
