The burnt-out foreground extends from First to Second, from James (at right) to a little north of Cherry (at left). As for the part with buildings, near the right is the old "Katzenjammer Castle" City Hall, at the angle between Yesler, and Jefferson just east of Third, so the buildings at farthest right are actually south of Yesler.
