Beautiful conversations, people, places, design+photography
I had the pleasure of attending
Pecha Kucha 49 in Seattle this week
at the Pike Place Market. Bitter cold
but a beautiful evening to catch the
holiday lights at the end of the day.
Usually I’m there when it’s extremely
busy but at night it elicits a quiet yet
spirited solitude.
Trolling around Queen Anne Hill this week
inspires me to share an example of beautiful reuse.
Old Queen Anne High School, designed by James Stephen
in 1899, is a Neo-classical building that sits high atop
Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. Originally noted for its
spacious corridors, ample exits, and abundant light
and fresh air it was considered “modern” when it
was constructed. Today is houses, in all its
Neo-classical glory, high-end condominiums.
An excellent example of the adaptive reuse of
historic buildings.
