Page 150 of brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This page includes text plus a photo captioned "Property of Yesler Estate, Incorporated. / Intersection of Yesler Way and Second Avenue." The buildings are still there in 2007, though much altered. The building front and center is the Metropole Building (originally H. K. Owens Building), which according to some sources was built some time before the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 (which it survived), though the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods says it was built "between 1892 and 1893". This was the first G.O. Guy drugstore (see en:G. O. Guy), where, a year or so after this photo was taken, on June 25, 1901 just-fired Seattle police chief William L. Meredith tried to shoot vaudeville/burlesque/"box house" theater owner John Considine, missed, and was shot by Considine.[1] [2] [3] [4] The building was severely damaged by a fire May 21, 2007, but the exterior walls appear to be intact. Visible signs in photo say:
