DescriptionGeneral history, Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, fully illustrated - meet me in Seattle 1909 - Page 54.jpg |
From the materials for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909, held in Seattle. Captioned "Empire and American Bank Building." This photo was taken looking southeast at the corner of Second and Madison (see File:Potlatch parade - 1911.jpg for a view of this block from the south; see http://content.lib.washington.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/seattle&CISOPTR=1767 for a 1912 view similar to the one here). The building at 914 2nd Avenue, built 1904-1906, demolished no later than 1983, was variously known as "American Savings Bank/Empire Building", "American Savings Bank and Trust Company Building" and "American Bank Building". The block is now the site of the Wells Fargo Center (originally, I believe, First Interstate Bank Building). There a mention of the building in the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods' page on the nearby (and extant) Mehlorn Building; the latter also written at times Mehlhorn, Melhorn. Clarence Bagley's History of Seattle: from the earliest settlement to the present time (1916, p. 637) says, "the first reinforced (with steel) concrete structures in Seattle were the American Bank and Empire buildings, which connect and were built by the American Savings Bank and Judge Burke. A. Warren Gould [who was not the Gould of Bebb and Gould] was the architect, and now, in 1915, he is engaged in erecting a $1,000,000 courthouse for King County." |

Mechanical scan of a work that is in the public domain because of its age |
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
