Description
English:

Benjamin Franklin Day (1834-1904) was born in Ohio and came to Seattle in 1880, buying a 160-acre farm north of Lake Union in what is now the Fremont neighborhood. A real estate speculator and investor, Mr. Day is remembered for having donated money in 1889, then land in 1891, to the Seattle School District. The school built in Fremont, B. F. Day Elementary School, is the oldest continuously-operating elementary school in the Seattle Public School system. This image of a Day, Latimer, & Wood business card lists B. F. Day, William G. Latimer, and William D. Wood as real estate brokers in Washington Territory.
