File:Aftermath of Seattle fire of June 6, 1889 (CURTIS 446).jpeg

English: Original photographer unknown. "2nd & Commercial Sts."

• Subjects (LCTGM): Fires--Washington (State)--Seattle
• Subjects (LCSH): Seattle (Wash.)--Fire, 1889

Commercial Street was the old name of First Avenue South, so this is presumably south of Yesler. There is actually a 2-block distance from the present-day Second Avenue South to First Avenue South, with the old "Second Street" (now Occidental Avenue South) in between. The building at right here can be seen near the center of File:Aftermath of the Seattle fire of June 6, 1889 looking west toward waterfront (SEATTLE 89).jpg, and from that we can tell that the hill in the background is Beacon Hill or West Seattle.
