Description |
English: The first Founders' Day Ball took place on November 13, 1911, on the 60th anniversary of the Denny Party landing at Alki beach. From its inception the event was a historical costume ball, hosted by Emily and Morgan Carkeek at their First Hill mansion. Guests were asked to donate artifacts or documents related to Seattle history, which led to the establishment of the Seattle Historical Society (SHS) in 1914. After Emily Carkeek's death, SHS evolved from a private club into a more broadly-based civic organization. Beginning in 1945, the annual Founders' Day celebrations were public luncheons co-sponsored by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Meanwhile, SHS's collection grew and in 1952 the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) was built in the Montlake neighborhood to house and display the collection. This photo shows Morgan and Emily Carkeek's daughter Guendolen, with Hortense Smith, posed on the lawn of Carkeek mansion in Native American inspired costumes. Handwritten on recto: 1911 This image comes from a photograph album created by Emily Carkeek of Founders' Day parties and Carkeek Park picnics.
