The Times Square Building is located in downtown Seattle on a triangular-shaped block bordered by Fifth Avenue, Olive Way, and Stewart Street. Designed by architects Bebb and Gould in the Italianate style, the five-story building was completed in 1916 and became a Seattle Historic Landmark in 1984.
This image of the Times Building, seen here while under construction, was taken facing east on Stewart Street from an upper floor of the Washington Securities Building on 3rd Avenue. The white building in the lower left corner of the frame is the New Washington Hotel, which was completed in 1908 at 1902 Second Avenue.
