Title
English: Burke & Farrar Building in Kirkland, Washington, 1925
Description
English: Kirkland's early hopes for prosperity died with the economic depression of the 1890s and the failure of the Great Western Iron & Steel Company. In 1910, Burke & Farrar, a Seattle real estate company, bought up the vacant lots and began to promote the area for homes and businesses. By 1925, the firm had a large office in the heart of Kirkland.

This 1925 photo shows the Burke & Farrar Building at the northeast corner of Kirkland Avenue and Lake Street in downtown Kirkland. A large electric sign on top of the building greets the passengers arriving by ferry; the landing is out of sight at the lower left.
