The Sanctuary, Residential building in Capitol Hill, Seattle, US

The Sanctuary stands at the intersection of East Denny Way and 16th Avenue, converted from a former Christian Science church into modern residential units.

The building began its life in 1906 as the First Church of Christ Scientist, constructed with Bedford limestone in Classical Revival style architecture.

The structure received recognition as a City of Seattle historic landmark in 1977, marking its importance in local architectural heritage.

The transformation from church to residential space maintains original architectural elements while providing contemporary living spaces for Seattle residents.

The residential conversion preserved the limestone exterior and incorporated the church's structural features into individual living spaces.
