Schoenfeld Building, Chicago School office building in Downtown Seattle, United States.

The Schoenfeld Building stands six stories tall at the corner of Second Avenue and Pine Street, featuring large plate glass windows and terra cotta details.

German immigrant Louis Schoenfeld established his furniture business in this building after its construction in 1891, expanding it into Washington state's largest furniture outlet by 1897.

The building reflects the architectural principles of the Chicago School through its functional design elements and structural features that dominated commercial buildings of the 1890s.

The structure maintains its role as an office space, with various businesses occupying different floors and a hair salon operating on the ground level.

After serving as the Standard Furniture Company, the building later housed Central Loan pawnshop for over 60 years until 2007.
