Butterworth Building
Butterworth Building, Office building in Seattle, United States.
The Butterworth Building stands at 1921 First Avenue, featuring three stories on First Avenue and five stories facing Post Alley in Seattle.
Built in 1903 as Seattle's first mortuary building, the structure contained the West Coast's first elevator specifically designed for transporting deceased persons.
The building combines Late Victorian architecture with detailed mahogany finishes, art glass windows, ornamental plaster, and custom brass hardware throughout its interior.
The basement level, formerly housing the mortuary facilities, now contains Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub, which has operated there since 1983.
The original mortuary included a 200-seat chapel, private family rooms, and fireproof vaults for storing bodies in cases of delayed burial decisions.
