Summary

[edit]
Description This is a very unusual join between two brick buildings on Maynard Alley in the International District, Seattle, Washington. In the late 1970s someone told me—and I cannot vouch for this beyond that—that one property owner had built a building that overlapped onto another's property. The other threatened to sue, and he changed his building after the fact to stay on his own side of the property line. In fact, he moved a few feet inside the line, so that when the originally litigious owner built right up to the new building, he was now over the line, and a lawsuit was threatened in the other direction. The owner of the second building started trying to "retreat" his building—much more difficult than the first operation, since there was no longer an open space—and made it about halfway before giving up and selling out to the man he originally tried to sue.
