The Henry M. Jackson Federal Building is a 37-story United States Federal Government skyscraper in downtown Seattle, Washington. Located on the block bounded by Marion and Madison Streets and 1st and 2nd Avenues, it was completed in 1974 and won the AIA Honor Award in 1976. It received its current name after the death of U.S. Senator Henry M. Jackson in 1983.[1]
Among the buildings that were torn down to build the federal building were the Richardsonian Romanesque[2] Burke Building (built 1889–91),[1][3] the Hotel Stevens,[citation needed] and the Tivoli Theater, a burlesque house.[3]
