Victorian Apartments, apartment building in the Chinatown International District, Seattle, US

Victorian Apartments is a residential building in Seattle's Chinatown International District, constructed in 1891 with wood framing and distinctive Victorian-style details throughout. The two-story structure measures approximately 60 by 113 feet and features six large windows on each floor, three projecting porches with gabled roofs covered in fish-scale shingles, and decorative spindlework on the railings.

Built in 1891 at South 10th Avenue and Weller Street, the building housed families near the Pioneer Square business district while Seattle's population grew from about 10,000 in the mid-1880s to 42,000 by 1890. The Jackson Street regrade begun in 1907 cut street gradients from as much as 15 percent to 5 percent; most buildings were demolished, but this one was moved in 1908 to just outside the regrade area. It was listed on the National Register on December 18, 1990.

The building's name comes from its Late Victorian design, unusual for its surroundings, and it was designated a City of Seattle Landmark in 1979 as the Victorian Row Apartments. Since 1990 it has held 14 units of affordable housing, rehabilitated by Historic Seattle with federal tax credits. In November 2025 the Seattle Chinatown International District Preservation and Development Authority took over ownership and management.

The building is located at the corner of South 10th Avenue and Weller Street in the Chinatown International District and is easily accessible on foot. The apartments are private residences not open for interior visits, but the Victorian architectural details are visible from the street.

The building was moved in 1908, not 1907, to a site just outside the Jackson Street regrade area. It is Seattle's only remaining unaltered pre-1900 structure of its type, a fact tied to its 1990 National Register listing.
