The North School at Third and Pine operated in 1873-1883, and initially closed when the large 1883 Central School opened. A private kindergarten operated there for some time, and was also replaced by a fire station, which briefly housed some classes for a couple of years after the Central School burned April 10, 1888. After that, in 1890, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Fire_Station_No._2,_Seattle_(1890)" title="Category:Fire Station No. 2, Seattle (1890)">Fire Station No. 2</a> was built on this site; that was eventually torn down to build the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bon_March%C3%A9_flagship_store" title="Category:Bon Marché flagship store">Bon Marché flagship store</a> (1929), which eventually became a Macy's (scheduled to close in 2020; Amazon.com is expected to use that latter building for offices).
