Order an ImageIn 1903, work began on the 14-story Alaska Building. This office building was Seattle's first skyscraper to be built with steel framing. Steel framed buildings could be taller than those in Pioneer Square which were built by earlier methods. This photo shows the Alaska Building, which still stands on the southeast corner of Second Avenue and Cherry Streets.
