Title	Seattle First National Bank showing west facade seen from 2nd Av. No.
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00817
Description	Space Needle and Seattle First National Bank, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World’s Fair). On the Space Needle: “The Space Needle, a modernistic totem of the Seattle World’s Fair, was conceived by Eddie Carlson as a doodle in 1959 and given form by architects John Graham Jr., Victor Steinbrueck, and John Ridley. When King County declined to fund the project, five private investors, Bagley Wright, Ned Skinner, Norton Clapp, John Graham Jr., and Howard S. Wright, took over and built the 605-foot tower in less than a year.” (Walt Crowley, “Space Needle (Seattle).” HistoryLink.org, http://historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=1424.) On the Seattle First National Bank, designed by Paul Thiry: “The Century 21 Branch of the Seattle First National Bank, located in the northwest corner of Friendship Mall, offers complete banking service to World’s Fair visitors. The exterior of the glass and steel bank building is adorned with the flags of all the nations participating in the World’s Fair.” (Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 64.)
