Alaska Building
Washington, United States · built 1904
The Alaska Building, which now houses the Courtyard Seattle Downtown/Pioneer Square hotel, is a 15-floor building in Seattle, Washington completed in 1904 to designs by St. Louis architects Eames and Young. At the time of its completion, it was the tallest building in the state of Washington—and remained so until the 1910 completion of Spokane's Old National Bank Building. The building was purchased by American Life, Inc. on December 6, 2007, for $38.7 million and renovated to begin a new life as a Courtyard by Marriott in June 2010. The original exterior of the structure was maintained, as were the marble lobby, original crown molding, window framing and wood pillars.
