Description
English:

Born in Tennessee, James Thomas Huff (1868-1924) moved to Seattle in 1894, finding work at the Seattle Laundry. In 1904, he established his own laundry business, Washington Laundry, at 1165 Eastlake Avenue on Lake Union. In this image Mr. Huff stands next to his Winston [sic: presumably Winton] automobile in front of Washington Laundry. The laundry delivery wagons and drivers are lined up behind him along Eastlake Avenue. This image was taken facing southwest, and Lake Union is visible behind the laundry building.
