Washington Hall, Fraternal hall in Central District, Seattle, United States

Washington Hall is a three-story, double wood-frame building with a brick veneer skin, designed by Seattle architect Victor W. Voorhees in 1907. Its design mixes Mission Revival and commercial styles. The building contains meeting halls, a dance hall and performance space, and one-room apartments for immigrants.

The Danish Brotherhood in America commissioned Washington Hall in 1907, with a floor plan by Seattle architect Victor W. Voorhees, to house new Danish immigrants and provide lodge meeting rooms, a dance hall and a performance venue. In 1973 the Sons of Haiti, an African-American Masonic group, bought the building and rented the second floor as performance space. Historic Seattle purchased it in 2009 and completed a four-phase restoration, reopening it to the public in May 2016.

The Sons of Haiti, an African-American Masonic group, bought the hall in 1973 and kept their first-floor rooms while renting the second floor as performance space. Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. Du Bois spoke here, and Duke Ellington, Jimi Hendrix and Billie Holiday played the upstairs stage.

The building is located at 153 14th Avenue in Seattle's Central District and hosts various events and performances. Check ahead for scheduled events since the space primarily functions as a performance and event venue rather than a walk-in attraction.

The restoration ran in four phases: the first finished in 2010, and the building reopened to the public only in May 2016. Ron Wright and Associates/Architects PS, Coughlin Porter Lundgren and Lydig Construction worked on the project, and a $90,000 grant was secured in 2010.
