Adjacent to the Brew House in the Rainier Brewery is the old Malt House. The details amaze me; the fluted brick beneath the aging, metal sign, the sandstone-colored stone header above the upper window, the arched-brick pattern above the lower window. For a commercial building, which was internally designed to brew beer, it is amazing such energy was put into the outside details. Not something you would see today.

Fantagraphics, one of the many small businesses located in the Georgetown area of Seattle. I have been amazed by the number of small businesses and companies in Georgetown. Until I parked my car and walked around on foot did I discover the richness of this area.

Looking north, a large section of the old Rainier Brewery. Quite a large building. The other image is the southern most section of the brewery, which I would imagine, was damaged in the 2001 quake. The wall just looks like it was torn off. It is being held up by very large steel supports on the back side.

CIA?

Back in the 60’s and 70’s the CIA was referred to as ‘”The Firm”. Maybe they have relocated from Langley to Georgetown (Seattle)?

One more look at the bottle tree. Must be a perennial that requires little sunshine and lots of water.

Postkasten, German for mailbox. This one is not in use as it is taped shut. Located on the exterior wall of the brick building with two doors in a previous post.

Two Doors

The carriage door on the left is cool. Very few of those doors in use. There is something about the ‘Subway’ pattern in the brick that …….does something. Every time I see that pattern in brick or tile I find it visually pleasing.
