Summary
| Description |
I'm not sure whether this reasonably prominent building in the 4200 block of University Way, Seattle, Washington has any official name. I'm told it was originally (1924) a mortuary. In the mid-1970s it was a bank. Since then, it's mostly been restaurants downstairs. Upstairs is office space. In the back since the 1970s has been the Allegro coffeehouse. According to my sources, the northern half of this building was built in 1914 for Willard E. Forkner's funeral parlor, a business started in the U-district shortly after his arrival from Indiana in 1909. It was doubled in size and given its current appearance in 1924 by architect Harry E. Hudson. Shortly before his death in 1935 Forkner passed the business to his son Joseph, who would operate it until 1958, selling the business to his partner Stuart Adams and retiring to Palm Springs. Adams continued to operate from this location under the name Adams-Forkner until 1974, when the business was relocated to Acacia Memorial Park in Lake City. The building under new owners was subsequently dubbed the Campus Corridor Building and was remodeled into mixed retail; among its early tenants were a Seafirst Bank branch, Krazy Shirt Works and the Allegro Espresso Bar. |
