The 11-story Cobb Building was the third erected in the Metropolitan Tract, a 10-acre parcel formerly containing the original campus of the University of Washington (UW). Williams, it was ".the first on the West Coast devoted exclusively to doctors and dentists." Others appeared in San Diego, CA, and Palo Alto, CA, by the 1920s, but this building was probably the earliest dedicated to serving medical professionals on the Pacific Coast. The building was designed by the notable New York architectural firm of Howells and Stokes, whose on-site supervisor, Abraham Horace Richardson, would settle in Seattle, WA, becoming a significant designer of large-scale buildings for the Metropolitan Building Company and other institutional patrons. The Cobb Building was the third element within the Metropolitan Tract, a grandly-scaled example of early-twentieth century ensemble urban planning.
