Title
English: Aftermath of the Seattle fire of June 6, 1889 showing the ruins of buildings. This is looking south down what is now Second Avenue S (then known as South Third Street) from Yesler Way. On the far left are the ruins of Seattle's city hall and fire station (1882) and in the middle the original Wah Chong Buildings (1883), the nucleus of Seattle's original Chinatown. They would be quickly replaced by the Phoenix Hotel which would later be demolished for the 2nd Avenue Extension.
