There’s more to Seattle architecture than meets the eye | Northwest Living VIEW

Our city’s most beautiful buildings speak to who, and where, we are.

121810-TOUR_CBR

The Seattle Architecture Foundation leads a tour of Seattle architecture, called ‘Design Details: Lions, Griffins, & Walruses, Oh My!’ on Saturday, Dec. 18, 2010.

The tour makes it way to the Arctic Club, built in 1916, on 700 Third Avenue. The Arctic Club’s original walrus terra-cotta tusks were removed and replaced with fiberglass, in the 1982 restoration of the building. Then thirteen of the walrus heads cracked from the expanding grout where the new tusks had been attached. The cracked walrus heads were replaced in the 1997 renovation. The Arctic Building was the headquarters for the Arctic Club, a business and social organizations. The Arctic Building was sold in 2005 to the Arctic Club Hotel LLC, and converted into a 117-room hotel.

Arne Bystrom, here in his Capitol Hill home office, is never far from wood and, at 80, is still a working architect. “I love little projects like cabins, because clients often give you more authority than when they do their dream house. They’re a lot of fun.” Many years ago, he and Valerie built their own saltwater cabin by hand.
