Built in 1915, this building was formerly the Jewish Synagogue of Chevra Biku Cholim. It became the Yesler-Atlantic Community Center in 1972 under the Model Cities Program and was renamed in 1973 for Harlem Renaissance poet, playwright, and author Langston Hughes. The vision of this historic Seattle landmark is to cultivate and showcase Black brilliance in the community.
