ca. 1937. The Barlow-Catlin Block, 1109-13 Pacific Ave., circa 1937. The structure was built in 1889 from a design by Proctor and Dennis. The building was named after its developers C.S. Barlow and Charles Catlin. It was later renamed the Arcade Building and the Bankers Trust Building. In 1937, the main tenant was Steel, Steel, Steel Inc. Real Estate and the building was closed above the second floor to save money. The US government took over the building in 1943 to use as dormitory style housing for war workers. It was demolished in 1956 to make way for an annex to the Peoples Store, located left 1101-07 Pacific Ave. Located to the right of the building are the smaller building at 1115 Pacific and the National Realty Building at 1117-19 Pacific, home in 1937 to Puget Sound Bank.
