Diamonds & Gold Tour: The Art Deco Skyscraper Northwest Style
Sat, May 4 from 10am - 12pm
Take a trip back in time to the Roaring 20s. Following the horrors of World War I, architects began fusing modern structural advances with beautiful, lively, organic designs to create the style known as Art Deco. You'll discover diamons and gold, and you'll see how Northwest imagery was incorporated into the Art Deco elegance and innovation of these architectural gems. Featured stops include the Exchange Building, Seattle Tower and Washington Athletic Club. On this tour, you will go back in time to visit lush lobbies and ornate commercial buildings to learn how technology, archeology and French design influences some of Seattle's most impressive buildings.
THis tour meets in the lobby of the Fairmont Olympic Hotel, 411 University St. Seattle WA 98101.
