English: Crowd watching a circus parade on Second Avenue, Seattle, circa 1900 |
| Description |
English:
Circus parades were always popular with Seattleites. Here, spectators perch on carts to watch the parade on Second Avenue at the corner of James Street. The large brick building across the street is the Butler Hotel, and the pale building to the left is a corner of the Seattle Hotel. Handwritten on verso: Street Scene, Seattle Wash. Waiting for the Circus procession.
Probably the John Robinson circus, which visited Seattle on July 22, 1890. Here's an ad in the P-I from a few days before and Here's a P-I article from the day after that recaps the events and mentions the elephants. And as a bonus, a progress report on the Bailey Building (referred to here as the Harrisburg Building) from 6 days after the circus parade, mentioning how a good share of the first story is up. |
