Title	Warren Ave. Public School; View is from Harrison & 2nd Ave. No.
Identifier	spl_wl_sec_00252
Description	Future site of the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World’s Fair). In 1956, the City of Seattle’s Civic Center Advisory Committee selected land surrounding the existing Civic Auditorium at the foot of Queen Anne Hill for the site of the Century 21 Exposition and a future Civic Center for the city. In 1957, the city acquired the property through condemnation. With a few exceptions, including the Civic Auditorium (which was transformed into the Opera House) and the National Guard Armory (which became the Food Circus), most existing buildings were demolished. This set of photos documents the site before demolition began . The Warren Avenue School opened on February 16, 1903, and operated until 1959, when it was sold to the State of Washington. It was demolished on August 27, 1959. During the Century 21 Exposition, the former school site was the site of the Washington State Coliseum, later known as the Key Arena. (Nile Thompson and Carolyn Marr, Building for Learning, Seattle Public School Histories, 1862-2000. Seattle: Seattle Public Schools, 2002.)
