Title
English: Railroad Ave., looking north from Washington St., 1910 or shortly after
Original caption
English: Railroad Ave., looking north from Washington St., probably between 1885 and 1910
Description
Another high-resolution picture from a year or two later, showing many of these same buildings and structures from a different angle.
English:

Shows the Canadian Pacific Steamship Co. at Pier 1 on the left. On verso of image: Railroad Ave. from Washington St., dock and trains

  • Subjects (LCTGM): Canadian Pacific Steamship Company--Facilities--Washington (State)--Seattle; Railroads--Washington (State)--Seattle; Piers & wharves--Washington (State)--Seattle; Waterfronts--Washington (State)--Seattle; Trucks--Washington (State)--Seattle
  • Subjects (LCSH): Alaskan Way (Seattle, Wash.); South Washington Street (Seattle, Wash.); Wagons--Washington (State)--Seattle; Central business districts--Washington (State)--Seattle
1910 is the earliest possible date, since it shows the tower of Grand Trunk Pacific Dock at left (built that year, and burned in 1914, so this puts a pretty narrow range on this). At upper right, an extension to The Bon Marché visible here was completed 1911, so unless that was still incomplete at the time of this photo the date is probably slightly after 1910.
