Frye Apartments (Frye Hotel 1908) by Bebb and Mendel in the Beaux Arts style. It was one of the tallest steel frame buildings in Seattle and one of its most elegant hotels. During WWII the Frye was festooned with flags—the mounts are still there—and housed military before shipping off to the Pacific. They danced behind blackout curtains at the USO club in nearby Smith Tower. The Frye changed from hotel to senior housing in 1972. Tonkin Hoyne Lokan Architects rehabilitated the Frye for the Low Income Housing Institute 1998-2001.
