Butler Hotel
The Butler Hotel or Hotel Butler in Seattle, Washington, was one of Seattle's leading hotels in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.〔(Anonymous), "The Late Hotel Butler", ''Seattlife'', April 1939. Page unknown, this was in a clipping file on Victor Aloysius Meyers at the Seattle Public Library.〕 It was located at the corner of Second Avenue and James Street, in what is now the Pioneer Square-Skid Road National Historic District.〔(Summary for 601 2nd Ave ), Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. Accessed online 23 August 2008.〕 During the Prohibition era, its Rose Room was repeatedly cited for flouting the laws against the consumption of alcoholic beverages. It closed in 1933;〔 the lower two floors survive as part of the Butler Garage.〔 The building itself is also known as the Butler Block, the name over the main entrance.
==Early history==
One of Seattle's most elegant hotels, the building that was to become the Butler Hotel was built shortly after the Great Seattle Fire.〔 Some years prior, Hillory Butler had owned and operated a truck garden on the quarter-block lot practically center of town and lived there in a small house. One of his conditions for the erection of a major building on his property in 1875 was that it would bear his name in perpetuity.〔"'The Butler Garage'", ''The Argus'', January 6, 1934, p. 2.〕〔Clarence Bagley (1916), ''History of Seattle from the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time'', S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, p. 678 for the year of construction.〕 The pre-fire Butler was a three-story wooden building.〔Frederic James Grant, ''History of Seattle, Washington with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers'', American Publishing and Engraving Co., 1891, p. 214.〕
Building plans for the new Butler Block were announced July 3, 1889, in the ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer'', less than a month after the fire. Designed by the short-lived partnership of Parkinson and Evers, it was built as an office building, the Phinney and Jones Building, for Guy C. Phinney and Daniel C. Jones.〔 The English-born John Parkinson of Parkinson and Evers had just arrived in Seattle from Napa, California, after the fire, and was for several years one of Seattle's leading architects, before moving to Los Angeles after the Panic of 1893.〔 Seattle neighborhood Phinney Ridge is named after Phinney, one of the city's leading businessmen of the era.〔Louis Fiset, (Seattle Neighborhoods: Phinney -- Thumbnail History ), HistoryLink, August 29, 2001. Accessed online 23 August 2008.〕 Jones, in contrast was a foulmouthed frontiersman who apparently carried a gun in each hip pocket.〔
