619 WESTERN AVE

Across the street from the 619 Building and to the right of the Steattle Steam Plant
is a small brick structure covered in ivy. When Pioneer Square was the city center
this small ivy covered red brick building was Seattle's Post Office. 
Hence the name Post alley

The Old Post Station Facility, along with the Seattle Steam’s 
New Post Station, is one of the last working remnants of the 
industrial fabric of the Pioneer Square-Skid Road Historic District
 and definitely dates from before 1903.  The only elements that 
post-date 1922 and that do not contribute to the integrity of this building 
are the metal doors on the west and east elevations of the building. 
The building is a rare example of utilitarian architecture common to this 
area at the turn of the twentieth century. The building has continuously
 functioned as part of the Steam Plant. While it once provided back-up for
 the larger plant, it appears to be used as a storage facility.
