"Western Avenue" in MOHAI's title is almost certainly wrong. This is Railroad Avenue, now Alaskan Way. The point of view is well south of Yesler Way, so there is no "Western Avenue" this far south. Conferred with Adam Lyon at MOHAI and he agrees: "It is Railroad Ave. We checked the 1901 city directory, and both Bailey & Sharkey Tinsmiths and Seattle Cereal Co. have addresses on Railroad Ave. Bailey and Sharkey were at 316 Railroad Ave and the Seattle Cereal Co. was at 304-306 Railroad Ave. "
