The Haight building's upper six floors of office space had been uninhabited for almost two decades, prompting building owner Fred Scheetz to decided to convert the office building in Seattle, WA, into a residential structure. The project entailed the gutting of every floor, the replacement of about 150 windows and the restoration fo the building facade. Other alterations included the transfer of an elevator shaft, the construction of a steel stair and the installation of new electrical and mechanical systems and building roof. The building, renamed Second and Pine, was completed in Jun 1992.
