Title

King Street wharves, ca. 1878

Description

Transcribed from photograph: "Waterfront. About 1878. Wharves at foot of King St. and Weller St. Academy of the Holy Names at center background."

As with File:Arrival of the first log shipment via the Columbia & Puget Sound Railroad, Seattle, 1880 (MOHAI 9574).jpg and File:First logs on Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad, 1880 - DPLA - d1326f382a2eb090fde6076f552b3a74.jpg, the claim that is the Academy of the Holy Names doesn't site easily with the ostensible date. The Academy of Holy Names at Seventh Avenue and Jackson Street was built starting in 1882 and opened in 1884. There was an earlier Academy of Holy Names at Second and Seneca 1880-1884, but it seems unlikely it would have been this similar-looking a building.
