File:Salvation Army Industrial Department on Holgate Street, Seattle, May 22, 1923 (MOHAI 8791).jpg

This photograph of the exterior of the Salvation Army Industrial Department building on Holgate Street in Seattle was taken on May 22, 1923. This area south of downtown Seattle was originally made up of tidal flats; soil dredged from the Duwamish River and sluiced from the Denny triangle and Beacon Hill regrades was used to create this industrial area needed by area businesses and railroads. This photo is from an album of photographs documenting Beacon Hill and construction around Seattle in 1923, probably of projects by the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company (later Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company), a major contributor to the construction of the Pacific Northwest. All of the photos were taken by noted Seattle photographer Asahel Curtis.
