This print showcases the magnificent L. C. Smith Building in Seattle, captured around 1914. Standing tall at an impressive 42 stories, this architectural marvel proudly represents the epitome of office buildings outside of New York City. The image captures two sentries standing guard, symbolizing the grandeur and importance of this iconic structure. The L. C. Smith Building boasts a plethora of remarkable features that make it a must-visit for any enthusiast or curious visitor. Its Observatory-Chinese Room is a true wonder, adorned with hand-carved teak finish and furnishings replicating tables from renowned Chinese Temples. Bronze lanterns and exquisite Oriental Furnishings further enhance its allure. Not only does this massive fireproof structure weigh an astonishing 32,650 tons but it also rests upon an astounding 1,276 concrete piles for stability and strength. Inside, eight high-speed elevators whisk occupants to their desired destinations effortlessly while showcasing interior trim made entirely of steel. As visitors explore the corridors embellished with beautiful Alaska Marble (excluding the Main Floor which dazzles with Mexican Onyx), they are treated to breathtaking views both day and night. When darkness falls upon Seattle's skyline, 42 giant floodlights illuminate the entire peak while a great electrically lighted ball perches atop at a staggering height of 500 feet above street level. This postcard print from Universal Images Group (UIG) perfectly encapsulates the splendor and magnificence that awaits those who venture into this extraordinary building in Seattle - truly an architectural masterpiece deserving admiration beyond compare.
