Harborview Hospital's large, Art Deco building has dominated Seattle's skyline since it opened in 1931 on Seattle's First Hill. Harborview was modeled after large teaching hospitals in the east and was intended to be both a public city hospital and a statewide health center. It has also served as a primary center for medical and nursing education.

This photo shows Harborview Hospital, now Harborview Medical Center, as it looked shortly after it opened. In the center left, facing the main hospital building is Harborview Hall, built as a nurses’ residence. The building with the tower, in the far left, is former Fire Station #3.
