The south side of the Daniels Recital Hall was restored after the building’s south wing was demolished last year. The unfinished doorway will allow access to a planned plaza. The rest of the exposed foundation will be below grade when a neighboring office tower is built.

THE FORMER First United Methodist Church in Seattle has been getting set for its second life as the Daniels Recital Hall. It's a transformation that has required careful restoration of the historic building.
