Denny Regrade No. 2 finishing ceremony, Seattle, 1930: a crowd of men in hats are looking at a massive steam shovel in the barren landscape of newly graded land.

Summary

[edit]
Description

Item 4614, Engineering Department Photographic Negatives (Record Series 2613-07), Seattle Municipal Archives. Seattle Municipal Archives changed its URL scheme circa 2022; the older URLs beginning with "clerk" are deprecated, and will eventually fail. The following search should find item number 4614 in their new database: http://archives.seattle.gov/digital-collections/index.php/Search/objects/search/num%253A4614+AND+ca_objects.type_id%253A23 .

English: Denny Regrade No. 2 finishing ceremony, Seattle, Washington, December 1930. Location would probably be somewhere near where the Space Needle would be built 30 years later, and looking roughly east. Denny Regrade No. 2 was actually more like the fifth (and last) regrade of part of Denny Hill, but was the second truly major one (Denny Regrade No. 1 was circa 1908, but there were smaller regrades before that).
