1000 Second Avenue

 * ... that construction of 1000 Second Avenue in Downtown Seattle, Washington, required demolition of a building donated for fire testing? Source: "Demolition at the site began in November 1984, with a series of fire prevention tests conducted by the Seattle Fire Department inside the vacated United Pacific Building, a 11-story office building constructed in 1909 and donated for the test by Selig."

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Interesting building and stories around it, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Unusual sourced hook. I'll watch if you want to include the image. - I wonder if the article name should contain Seattle. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:03, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't believe there's another high-rise with the address out there, so I don't think disambiguation is necessary. By default, most high-rise articles are un-dismabiguated until another is found.  Sounder Bruce  05:41, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Learning ;) - I thought about people not remembering the address, but knowing it's in Seattle, - hpw would they find it?
