The Building Story
Two warehouse buildings brought together as homes
80 South Jackson combines the historic Smith and Squire buildings into one condominium property. The Smith Building was completed in 1900 for L. C. Smith, with a design by Max Umbrecht. Its early occupants included businesses making sails, rigging, netting and twine. Light brick, stone ornament and arched upper windows remain part of its character at First Avenue South and Jackson Street.
The city records the rehabilitation of the Smith Building and neighboring Squire Building as one condominium in 1984. The Squire portion was designed by Charles Bebb, giving the complex two architectural histories behind a single residential address. This is a useful distinction when comparing homes: location within the combined property, original structure and later alterations can produce different ceiling heights, window arrangements and circulation. Its appeal rests in the close relationship between residential reuse and Pioneer Square’s former warehouse district.
