Diamonds & Gold
Revisit the Roaring 20's and the architectural developments which transformed our skyline. See how Mayan temples, decorated caves, and French styling came together, creating some of downtown's finest lobbies. The Art Deco style expresses elegance and innovation at the same time and a visit to these structural gems allows you to (re)discover for yourself how designs of the radio era are still well loved today in the digital age. Featured stops include the Exchange Building by John Graham Sr. and the Seattle Tower (formerly the Northern Life Tower) by Joseph Wilson.
