This building typifies the emerging west coast architectural aesthetic of the mid-20th century. Designed as a long, low slab intersected by a vertical plane, its shape was edgy and modern, while its brick cladding made it safe for more traditional minds. A third cube, this one made of glass and steel, intersects the front of the building. Functionally, it provides the entryway to the building, but stylistically, its presence creates negative space, and lets people outside see inside as the symbolic glass block dissolves away the much stronger brick surrounding it.

Originally this was the Seattle office of the Burroughs office machine company.
