Made by Stones 55
The famous F.X. McRory's. Located in Pioneer Square at 419 Occidental Avenue South. Built in 1906. F.X. McRory's From Seattle.gov : This building was designed by architects Saunders and Lawton and completed in 1906 and has had many names. Originally known as the Manufacturers Building, then as the Manufacturers Exchange Building (by 1912), it is now known by the name of the restaurant that is houses on its ground floor, F.X. McRory’s. A.B. Stewart and H. E. Holmes, druggists, had started their first business in Seattle in 1888 at the foot of Cherry Street and after the Fire of 1889, established a wholesale in addition to a retail drug business. From 1919 to 1977, they owned and occupied the building, but were taken over by McKesson and Robbins, Inc., a related company, who in turn, gave yet another name to the building, the McKesson and Robbins Building. Along with a number of other buildings in its vicinity, the F.X. McRory Building was erected during the time of economic and industrial growth in the heart of Seattle between 1900 and 1910. This period produced a second wave of building after the Fire of 1889 destroyed most of the area.
