Summary

Description
English: The Paragon Tool Company Building at the Northwest corner of Pine Street and Boylston in Seattle' Capitol Hill neighborhood. Built in 1919 for the eponymous tool manufacturer/auto part supplier, it was one of 3 similar light-industrial buildings designed by John Graham, Sr. during that time, the others being the Pacific Net & Twine Building and the demolished Oceanic Building, both on Western avenue. The Paragon Tool Company was formed in 1918 during World War I and from their original location in the Manufacturer's Exchange Building in Pioneer Square, made shipyard tools for the war effort. Following the war they switched to forging replacement auto parts such as axles, gears and piston rings, leading to their relocation to Capitol Hill where most of Seattle's auto industry was headquartered. No further mention of the company is made after 1925 and their building would be subdivided and home to a wide variety of automobile repairers and manufacturers over the years. It is currently occupied by small shops on the ground floor and an Enterprise rental car garage above.
