Title
English: Beacon Hill regrading, Seattle, July 2, 1923
Description
English:

This photograph shows the north end of Beacon Hill facing north. Dearborn Street is visible coming from the left center edge of the frame, between Beacon Hill and what will later be the International District of Seattle. Advertisement billboards visible in the image are for Wrigley's Gum and Wing Foot Tires. This area south of downtown Seattle was originally made up of tidal flats; soil dredged from the Duwamish River and sluiced from the Denny triangle and Beacon Hill regrades was used to create this industrial area needed by area businesses and railroads. This photo is from an album of photographs documenting Beacon Hill and construction around Seattle in 1923, probably of projects by the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company (later Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company), a major contributor to the construction of the Pacific Northwest. All of the photos were taken by noted Seattle photographer Asahel Curtis.

Inscribed on negative: View of lower pit looking north, 7-2-23 Stamped on verso: Asahel Curtis, Commercial Photographer, Seattle, Wash.
