About Fischer Studio Building

Fischer Studio Building is a Mid-Rise building in Downtown, Seattle. Built in 1913 with 31 residences across 8 stories.

Building Details

The Fischer Studio Building is a 31-unit historic condominium on Capitol Hill, constructed in 1913 and later converted to artist live-work lofts. The building is one of several early 20th-century commercial and industrial structures on Capitol Hill that were repurposed for residential use as the neighborhood evolved from a streetcar suburb into one of Seattle’s most vibrant urban districts.

As an artist loft conversion, the Fischer Studio Building attracts buyers drawn to the historic character, open floor plans, and creative community that live-work buildings tend to cultivate. High ceilings, exposed structural elements, and industrial finishes are common features in buildings of this type and era.

Capitol Hill’s historic building stock is a significant part of the neighborhood’s identity. The Fischer Studio Building sits alongside other converted properties including Pike Lofts, Harvard and Highland, and Firehouse 25, forming a distinctive layer of the neighborhood’s residential fabric that newer construction cannot replicate.

Jeff Reynolds tracks sales and HOA data at the Fischer Studio Building as part of the Seattle Condo Authority Network’s Capitol Hill coverage. Buyers should request current financial disclosures and confirm rental policy with the HOA, as historic live-work buildings often have unique covenants.
