The Hastings Building

This building was constructed by the Hastings Estate Company consisting of widow, Lucinda, and the children of Loren B. Hastings. Lucinda was the first non-native woman to settle in Port Townsend.

The cost of this elaborate building consisting of three stories and a basement cost $35,000-$45,00 to build in 1889. It was considered the handsomest building in Port Townsend with a 38' inside courtyard reaching to the roof. When the top floor business left during the depression a house of ill repute was said to have moved in.

The Hastings Estate Company and the Port Townsend descendants of the original family still maintain ownership of the building.
