The Exchange Seattle

The Exchange Seattle is a striking office building in Seattle's central business district, completed in 1930 in the Art Deco style. British architect John Graham originally designed the building for the Seattle Stock Exchange. With 23 stories, it was among the tallest reinforced-concrete skyscrapers in the United States when it opened. Over the decades, the building housed prominent companies such as General Electric and Standard Oil, and later telecommunications providers as well. Today it is a protected city landmark that was named Office Building of the Year in 2002. You can admire the building's historic facade and its architectural significance in the urban setting of the metropolis.
