Dorothy Day Apartments:
Located in the
Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, this project is a renovation
of the former Douglas Hotel (1900), and the construction of a
new 3-story wood frame structure to the north of the existing
building. Known today as the Dorothy Day Apartments, the joined
buildings contain 41 single room occupancy (SRO) units of
housing for homeless women, a commercial kitchen, and common
baths for the residents. At the street level is retail and
office space. This project is a fine example of adaptive reuse,
new construction, and historic preservation.
