Liggett Building, Gothic Revival office building in downtown Seattle, United States.
The Liggett Building is a ten-story office structure in downtown Seattle featuring elaborate terracotta cladding and pointed arch details in Gothic Revival style. The exterior displays ornamental stonework and richly textured surfaces that define the building's appearance.
Built in 1927 for the Louis K. Liggett Company, the structure replaced the earlier Kinnear Building on this downtown block. The construction reflects Seattle's real estate transformation during the 1920s expansion period.
The street-level retail shops and storefronts that occupy the base of this structure reflect downtown Seattle's ongoing commercial character. This mix of offices above and street-facing businesses below continues to shape how people interact with this neighborhood today.
The building sits at 1424 4th Avenue with office spaces filling the upper floors and retail areas occupying the street level. Visitors can view the exterior architecture from the sidewalk and explore the ground floor retail establishments.
Every material and labor component came from local Seattle sources during construction. This commitment to regional sourcing made the 1927 project a statement about supporting the local economy.
