Title |
Seattle skyline north from near 1st Ave. S. and Jackson St., ca. 1910 |
||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
Visible buildings include the New England Building, the Kenneth Hotel, the Empire Building, the Lowman Building, the Hoge Building, the Olympic Block, Hotel Seward, the Lyon Building, the Grand Opera House, Hotel Seattle, the Elks Building, and Saint James Cathedral. General view of Seattle downtown skyline, looking N.E. from near waterfront south of Pioneer Square. Catholic Cathedral on hill at extreme right, Hotel Seward below, Elks Building + Hoge Building in center, Lowman + Hanford office supplies, safe Kenneth Hotel, Olympia Beer sign. Note dome between twin towers of Cathedral which collapsed under now load in 1916 and was not rebuilt. Photo appears to be from the Schwabacher Hardware Company Building, built at the southwest corner of First and Jackson in 1906 and still extant in 2022 as part of Merrill Place Condominiums. "Elks Building" is misleading here, this is the Alaska Building, where the BPOE were based before their own building was built. Also: the Orpheum Theatre at Third & Madison, visible here, opened in 1911, so the date is probably just a little later than Seattle Public Library thought. |

Hoge Building (still extant 2022)
sign: "Elks Club Rooms"
Alaska Building
sign: "Olympia". This is an Olympia Beer ad on the old Olympic Block at the southeast corner of First and Yesler.
sign: "Seattle Hotel" a.k.a. Hotel Seattle. This was in the triangle formed by Yesler Way, James Street, and Second Avenue.
sign: "Lowman & Hanford | Office Furniture". This is the still-extant (as of 2022) Lowman & Hanford building on the east side of Pioneer Square Park.
sign: "Filing cabinets"
Lowman Building, still extant 2022 at the southeast corner of First & Cherry.
sign: "New England". New England Hotel Building. Still extant 2022. See https://web6.seattle.gov/DPD/HistoricalSite/QueryResult.aspx?ID=1105229645.
This building, now residential, is still there in 2022 at 317-323 1st Ave S, the northwest corner of First Avenue South and South Jackson Street.
sign: "Safe | Kenneth Hotel". The Kenneth Hotel (originally a bank building) and the buildings to its north extending up to Columbia Street on the east side of First Avenue were all damaged in the 1949 earthquake and later demolished. There's a big multi-story parking lot here now.
sign: Kenneth Hotel
Grand Central Hotel Building, still extant 2022
sign: "Seattle Hotel" (a.k.a. Hotel Seattle)
sign: "Grand Opera House | Reduced Prices". Interior destroyed by fire on January 20, 1917. Rebuilt 1923 as a multi-story parking garage. Still extant a century later.
Top floor of the Butler Hotel. Only the bottom two stories remain as of 2022, as the base of a multi-story parking garage.
sign: "Lyon Building". Still extant 2022 at the northwest corner of Third and James.
sign: "Hotel Seward", at that time also home of the Arctic Club. Still extant 2022 as the Morrison Hotel, low-income and transitional housing.
St. James Cathedral
Perry and Sorrento Hotels. The Perry, later a hospital, is now demolished. The Sorrento is going strong as of 2022.
sign: "Marshall". Still extant 2022, better known now as the Globe Building (southeast corner of First and Main), this was originally the Marshall-Walker Block. Another similar sign read "Walker". In the late 20th Century, this was home to Elliott Bay Books.
This bank building is now known as the Interurban Building. Southwest corner of Second & Yesler.
Inscribed: "1889"
State Hotel & Delmar Building, still extant 2022.
Pioneer Building, still extant 2022 on the east side of Pioneer Square Park at the corner of Yesler. The tower is gone now, though.
Dexter Horton Bank building, still extant 2022 as Maynard Building.
Clearly one of several very similar buildings in the Metropolitan Tract. Could be the Cobb Building (still extant 2022); the White Building and possibly the Henry Building would have also been built by the time this photo was taken.
Top of Providence Hospital, where the William Kenzo Nakamura Federal Courthouse stands as of 2022.
The Orpheum Theatre at Third & Madison opened in 1911. "Advanced Vaudeville | Always the best | Orpheum | Twice daily"
