CaptionOne of the most prominent architects to emerge during the post-1889 fire period in Seattle was Elmer H. Fisher, who designed the Burke building at 2nd and Marion St. It stood as one of the most impressive examples of this period for many years, and fragments of the building remain as decorative elements in the plaza of Seattle's new Federal Building.
