English: SoDo neighborhood of South Seattle as seen from Beacon Hill, May 28, 1923
Description
English:

This photograph of the northwest side of Beacon Hill in Seattle is facing west out towards Elliott Bay, which is just visible at the top of the frame. Visible in the image are residential homes as well as many commercial properties and buildings, showing the early development of what would be come an important industrial area of Seattle. This area south of downtown Seattle was originally made up of tidal flats; soil dredged from the Duwamish River and sluiced from the Denny triangle and Beacon Hill regrades was used to create this industrial area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.
