5. East Side of the 100 Block of 1st Avenue S

Immediately south of the Olympic Block stands the Lippy (E. W. Houghton,1902). Its southern neighbor, the City Club, was originally built in 1897 and gained an ornate Art Nouveau facade in 1905 befitting the gentlemen's club and restaurant it once housed. The rest of the block is lined by the Delmar Building, which was later renamed the State Hotel. It actually began as two buildings, the Terry and Kittinger, which were designed with coordinated facades by Herman Steinmann in 1889.
