Description
English: On verso of image: March 1909, 1. N. E. cor. Fifth Ave. and Seneca St. Spring Apts., 2. J. E. Chilberg's home, 3. Presbyterian Church

PH Coll 1026.12

  • Subjects (LCTGM): Dwellings--Washington (State)--Seattle; Apartment houses--Washington (State)--Seattle; Presbyterian churches--Washington (State)--Seattle
  • Subjects (LCSH): Fifth Avenue (Seattle, Wash.); Seneca Street (Seattle, Wash.); Central business districts--Washington (State)--Seattle; Grading (Earthwork)--Washington (State)--Seattle

Based on the 1905 Baist maps, the location described above is almost certainly one block off. This is Fifth and Spring, not Fifth and Seneca (so the name "Spring Apts." makes a lot more sense). At far left would be the Dresden Apartments. J. E. Chilberg's home is presumably correctly identified, but that is not a Presbyterian church: it's almost certainly St. Francis Parochial School. Providence Hospital would have been just the other side of the street, out of frame to the right.
