Washington Hall is a historic building and a registered city landmark in Seattle, Washington, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3] It was originally built as a community center by the Danish Brotherhood in America, a fraternal organization, with meeting halls and one-room apartments for new immigrants. In 1973, the building was sold to the Sons of Haiti (an African-American Masonic group) who leased the space to various tenants. It was purchased in 2009 by Historic Seattle and was renovated and re-opened in 2010 as an events and performance space.
