File:Guests around table at Arctic Club dinner, Seattle, April 27, 1916 (MOHAI 13046).jpg

English:

Fred H. Hayner (1869-1920) and his wife Marguerite M. "Minnie" (Sharrock) Hayner (b. 1870) moved from New York State to Seattle sometime before they hosted the 1916 dinner party pictured here. The lavish dinner was part of a dinner dance at the Arctic Club, an event described in the Society Pages of the April 28, 1916, edition of the Seattle Daily Times: "the clubrooms were filled with members and their friends and the decorations were in keeping with the occasion." A full roster of attendees, which includes photographer Frank H. Nowell, can be found in the same article.

This would not be the building best known by the name "Arctic Club" in Seattle. The Arctic Club moved out of this building (also known as the Seward Hotel, later Morrison Hotel, still extant 2022 as emergency housing) in 1917 to the Arctic Building at Third and Cherry, still extant in 2022 as a DoubleTree hotel.
