The Norton Building is a post-World War II office building in the International Style, located in Seattle, Washington, USA. Built on a sloping lot with the foundation of a large granite base, the building rises 17 stories above the city.
It is notable as one of the first post-World War II private office buildings in the city. Furthermore, its Modernism contrasts with the neighboring Exchange Building which is in the Art Deco style.
Tenants
The Norton Building has housed multiple tenants including LMN Architects and Pacific Northern Airlines.[3] The building was also home to Seattle's Member-Only Harbor Club which closed on December 31, 2015[4]. The building has sweeping views of the city and Puget Sound region.
