History
The Park Vista was designed by architect John A. Creutzer, who also designed Seattle's Medical Dental Building, the Swedish Tabernacle Church, and the Julie Apartments (now operating as the Urban Rest Stop), among many others. Creutzer worked as an architect in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Spokane, Washington before settling in Seattle in 1906. The architectural style of the Park Vista is Collegiate Gothic. Construction was finished in September 1928 by builder A. S. Hainsworth at a cost of USD350,000 ("Park Vista Apts. To be Ready by Middle of Month" University District Herald, 1928-Sept-4).
