The Skinner Building is an eight-story building in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington, which includes the historic 5th Avenue Theatre at its southern end.^[2]^[3] Part of the Metropolitan Tract,^[4] the structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for the architecture of the interior theatre and of the rest of the building.^[5]^[6] The exterior features an unadorned sandstone facade with a false loggia and red mission tile roof.^[2]^[7]

The building was constructed in 1926, designed by the architecture firm of Robert Reamer in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. The majority of the surrounding buildings constructed in the Metropolitan Tract have since been replaced with modern structures; only about four original buildings remain, retained due to public intervention.^[8]
