| Caption | The Metropolitan Business College was founded in 1889 as a small private business school originally called the Seattle Business College. In the beginning it taught only shorthand and typing, though the school eventually added courses in bookkeeping, accounting, business law, English and mathematics. The Metropolitan Business Company bought the college in 1915, changing its name to the Metropolitan Business College and moving it to the White-Henry-Stuart Building. In 1941 the college moved again, this time to 414 Union Street at the corner of Fifth Avenue. |
