Bell Apartments, Historic office building in Belltown, Seattle, United States.

The brick and terra cotta structure at 2324 1st Avenue contains 65 office suites across multiple floors with large display windows.

Eva Bell supervised the construction in 1889 after her husband Austin Bell's death, with architect Elmer H. Fisher incorporating Victorian and Gothic elements.

The building represents a transition period in Seattle's development, when Belltown evolved from an isolated area to a central commercial district.

The Bell Apartments underwent reconstruction from 1997 to 1998, transforming the upper floors into residential condominiums while maintaining the original facade.

Initially called Bell's Folly due to its remote location, the structure lost its grand cornice to fire in 1913 but retained much of its period ornamentation.

Location: Washington
