Title
English: West Seattle junction, Seattle, ca. 1926
Description
English:

The crossing of two streetcar lines at California Avenue and Alaska Street created what is now commonly referred to as the Junction, as well as the heart of West Seattle. By 1911, the junction became a full-fledged business district. The building shown in this photo stood on the southeast corner of California and Alaska Streets. Built in 1925 by Lawrence Colman and designed by Victor W. Voorhees, the Junction Building, which had lost its second floor and most of its original architecture over the past several decades, was demolished in 2014 for a mixed-use building.
