Title
Occidental Avenue and tidelands, Seattle, 1880s
Description

Transcribed from photograph: "View of the Fressee of the NPRR [Northern Pacific Railroad]."

Not South Lake Union, and probably mid-to-late 1880s. This is the tideland area now filled in as Sodo/Industrial District. The row of buildings are mostly on planks, along what is now Occidental Avenue South. The picture was taken from either the top floor or roof of the Occidental Hotel. The one building along the tracks in the midst of the tidelands is a slaughterhouse. The tracks are the route that was originally the Seattle and Walla Walla Railway, then the Columbia and Puget Sound Railway. The mention of the Northern Pacific is a bit odd, though this route did eventually connect to the Northern Pacific at Stuck Junction. And I'll conjecture that is not "Fressee" but "Tressel", a misspelling of "Trestle".
