Title
English: Grand Opera House, Seattle, circa 1910
Description
English:

Seattle's Grand Opera House, at 213-217 Cherry Street, was designed by Edwin H. Houghton, a prominent Pacific Northwest theater designer. Owned by John Cort, the theater stood at the northern end of Seattle's entertainment district. It was the city's most important live theater when built, but its popularity declined as the city expanded northwards. It became a movie theater, and then burned in January 1917. The building was gutted, and in 1923 became one of the city's early parking garages.
