Description
English:

This image of the King County Courthouse in Seattle was taken facing northeast during construction on September 11, 1915. Architect A. Warren Gould designed the five-story steel frame and reinforced concrete structure, built by the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company. The building sits at 516 Third Avenue, between Dilling Way and James Street, and was dedicated May 4, 1916 as the City-County Building. Additional floors, modernization, and seismic retrofitting have been completed over the years, and in 1987 the King County Courthouse was registered as a King County landmark. The Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company (later Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company) was a major contributor to the construction of the Pacific Northwest. Many of their projects were documented by noted Seattle photographer Frank H. Nowell.
