Description
This building in downtown Seattle (5th & Pike) was originally the Coliseum Theater. It opened in 1915 in the days of silent movies, and featured a Wurlitzer organ.
You can read more about the building and its history (and see a whole bunch of wonderful photographs!) here if you're interested.
It's now a clothing store. Ah well ...

great shot!
Well, we still do need clothes--but this is a beautiful shot; the detail of the building is wonderful!!
Very nice Tara. This is a superb b&w with a touch of sepia.
Magnificent architecture, the B/W gives a sense of time of silent movies era ! thanks for the link Tara!
Excellent shot!
Oh, purrrrfect subject for a B&W photo. You are takeing us back to 1915-1920. I am forwarding the link to a friend of mine here who is an organ nut. Once a year he goes north from Kansas somewhere to the home of some old multi-millionaire with several buildings full of grandly restored organs from all over the country. Can you imagine the experience of seeing a movie in this place at the height of its' popularity? I wonder what used to happen in the "intimate mezzanine"? Words in the news clipping, not mine :-)))
I like that you chose B/W for this. Really nice :)
Superb details, Tara! At least they haven't pulled it down, we've had a great deal of architectural vandalism in this country before listing was intoruced to offer a degree of protection.
Excellent shot! :)
A very beautiful building and a lovely capture. :)
Lovely old building this, like your treatment and square format.
Beautiful composition. excellent work

Fantastic shot!!
I'm with Andrea, at least they didn't pull it down and put up a modern building; that's a big part of Seattle's charm. Beautiful shot of a majestic old lady!
I thought Banana Republic went out of business?!?!? Great shot and nice use of B&W... appropriate for the type of building!
super choice for b/w

Those blueish and brown sepia tones are so effective in this photo! It helps a lot to the "historical" feeling. Beautiful!

You're lucky it is still there and not demolished for new complexes, like so many of our wonderful old buildings. Regardless of what is inside, we can still appreciate its magnificence through photos like yours! :)
