Fire gutted The Metropole Building on May 21, 2007; Murphy Varey is working with the property owner/manager to refurbish the historic Pioneer Square structure.  Special care has been devoted to retaining as much of the original historic character of the building as possible while updating it to current building and ADA code requirements. 

The Metropole was commissioned by Henry Yesler in 1881 and housed the first G.O.Guy Pharmacy on its ground floor.
