Summary[edit]

Description

Page 97 of brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This page includes text plus a photo captioned as "The Collins Block, Second and James. Property of John Collins." This building is intact as of 2007.

Among the visible signs on the building in this photo are a large band one storey below the roof saying "Wilson's Modern Business College" (the sign just left of the corner seems to say the same). Two storeys down from that, are signs "Collins" (in relief) and "Copeland M[e]dical Institute"; a sign on the next building says "Pianos". Signs in the ground floor corner windows say "A month of bargains" and "January sale"; a sign in the windo to the right says "Everything reduced during this sale." Other signs are less legible. A sign over the large awning seems to say "Cafe [something]" but the name is illegible. A pair of signs near the corner on the 4th floor appears be (respectively) an illegible name and "dentist". There are also illegible signs under "Copeland Medical Institute".
