English: Shows the Pioneer Building On verso of image: Curtis and Miller, commercial photographers. 625 Colman Bldg., Seattle, Wash.
This is taken from the Smith Tower (possibly while still under construction, but certainly not before February 1913) and before July 30, 1914, when the Grand Trunk Pacific Dock had a fire; it was rebuilt, but differently. |
