Description:
The Yesler Building is located at First Avenue and Yesler Way, on the most-visited street corner in the Pioneer Square Historic District. The area experiences consistent foot traffic year-round, especially during the summer tourist season and on all game and event days, due to its close proximity to Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park.
The Yesler Building was built in 1891 as the Bank of Commerce Building, by Seattle pioneer Henry Yesler. It was one of the first brick & mortar buildings to be completed following the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. Its distinctive façade of rusticated sandstone, featuring a second-story balcony and other Richardsonian Romanesque flourishes, was designed by Pioneer Square’s most prolific architect, Elmer Fisher. The building sits inside the corner of the L-shaped Schwabacher Building (also owned by Samis.)
The building's subterranean passageways are a major stop on the Seattle Underground Tour, where the alcove that was once occupied by the Bank of Commerce's teller cage is still prominent. At street level, Caffé D’arte occupies the building's ground floor.
The building is located just around the corner from Washington State Ferry terminal and the King County Water Taxi and is within easy walking distance of the Pioneer Square Link light rail station, King County Metro and Sound Transit bus stops, and the Seattle Streetcar to First Hill.
