Title

David T. Denny cabin, ca. 1901

Description

Transcribed from photograph: "Houses. Denny, D.T. House. (First house in Seattle.) First cabin at Alki. D.T. Denny and Leander Terry started to build this house, 18' by 22' in size, September 28, 1851. For a short time after their landing, Nov. 13, 1851, it housed the entire party from the Exact, until A.A. Denny, Boren & Bell built their own cabins. It is not known definitely what because of the cabin but it is presumed it fell apart. Descendants do not know of its burning. Nov. 26, 1951. Gift of Lillian Smart."

Date is questionable, because other accounts say it was destroyed as early as 1891.

Date
