The Building Story
An 1892 warehouse at the edge of Yesler Way
606 Post Lofts occupies the former Fischer and MacDonald Wholesale Store, a brick and stone building completed in 1892. The city’s historical inventory connects its design to Elmer Fisher and supervising architect Emil DeNeuf, while noting that their respective contributions are not fully resolved. The five-story building addresses both Yesler Way and Post Avenue, with a double-height storefront and arched upper windows that reflect the rebuilding of Seattle after the Great Fire.
Its present condominium identity retains that commercial scale in a compact Pioneer Square setting. The building’s broad facade, rusticated stone trim and textured brickwork provide a different starting point from a purpose-built modern condominium. Homes here belong to a conversion with individual layouts, so the relationship among windows, interior space and neighboring buildings matters more than a standard floor-plan category. The Post Avenue address also places the building within the historic district’s short network of streets and alleys.

Good to know
Before choosing a home here
- Check how the home’s windows face Yesler Way, Post Avenue or adjacent buildings when comparing daylight and street activity.
- Obtain the association’s structural and exterior rehabilitation records. Historic construction dates and later condominium conversion dates are often mixed in listings.
- Confirm the exact residential unit and any parking or storage rights in the resale documents rather than relying on the building’s commercial street frontage.
