The point of view here has to be west of First Avenue South, which runs straight north-south, whereas Seattle's streets north of Yesler Way run at an angle to the compass grid. Any building at Second and Columbia (even on the west side, like the Hoge Building, built 1911) will be east of the line of First Avenue South. It appears that the only candidate at a relevant date is the American Savings Bank and Empire Building at the southeast corner of Second and Madison.
