<p>The Arctic Club, formed by Seattle residents who had struck it rich in the Klondike, commissioned architect A. Warren Gould to design this building to serve as their headquarters. Architectural features included Alaskan marble in the hallways and walrus heads around the third floor. It was one of the earliest buildings to use terra cotta panels over a steel reinforced concrete frame. Building features included a bowling alley, billiard and card rooms, private dining rooms, a roof garden, and a grand formal dining room. It is located at Third Avenue and Cherry Street in downtown Seattle.</p>
