BRONZE RELIEF SCULPTURES
For much of the 20th century, this site was occupied by the
Medical Arts Building, a six-story brick and concrete building,
constructed in 1903. This original building was named the
Lumber Exchange. In a 1950 renovation by its long-time owners,
the Albert S. Kerry Family, the building entry was enriched with
15 bronze relief sculptures. Those hand-crafted sculptures, based
on Northwest motifs, were created by the renowned Northwest
artist, Everett G. DuPen. The original reliefs were preserved from
the Medical Arts Building and have been joined by additional
castings here in a tribute to the rich history of this block and
downtown Seattle.
