The Weyerhaeuser Building features four distinctive styles of windows – but none are more appealing than those that adorn the entrance.

Original Windows.

When the Everett office opened in 1923, the main doors had leaded glass windows with round inserts depicting timber and sawmill scenes – one on each door. Sometime later they were replaced with today’s blank panels, likely because the artistic ones had been broken.

Inspiration with a New Purpose.

Flanking the doors are windows showing a two-man crosscut saw for cutting down trees in the forest and a cant hook for handling logs in the sawmill as they looked 100 years ago – these were the inspiration for The Muse logo.

Above the doors, serving as the transom window, is a large stained-glass “W” surrounded by the leaded Weyerhaeuser Timber Company name.

In 1959, the company dropped the word “Timber” from its moniker to better reflect its operations. The stained glass, however, has stayed the same.

The four styles of windows featured in the Weyerhaeuser Building are described as follows:

01
Style One

The first type is a one-over-one double-hung design. The upper light is square and divided into six leaded panes, while the lower light is twice the depth of the upper and divided into 12 leaded panes. This window style appears on the ground floor and is grouped in units from two to five separated by heavy mullions.

02
Style Two

The second style of window is also of one-on-one double-hung design. The round-headed upper light is divided into six leaded panes, while the deeper lower light is divided into nine leaded panes. Windows of this design appear on the second floor.

03
Style Three

The third type is a narrow embrasure-casement window with diamond-shaped leaded panes.

04
Style Four

The fourth style is a wide, shallow, hinged window divided vertically into four leaded panes.
