Title

2nd Ave. north from James St., 1909

Description

The Crown Building, Oriental Block (completed 1903), Alaska Building (completed 1904), and New York Block (completed in 1892) appear on the right.

The logo here is for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, held in Seattle in 1909.

Besides colorization, this seems to have significant retouching, both on the wall of the Oriental Block (still extant 2022 as the Corona Building, just this side of the Alaska Building) and on the buildings in the distance.
