The album page may well have said "between... Columbia and James Streets" but that's really a bit confusing.

The burnt-out foreground extends from First to Second, from James (at right) to a little north of Cherry (at left), and not quite to Columbia. Conversely, if we look at the part with buildings, then near the right is the old "Katzenjammer Castle" City Hall, at the angle between Yesler, and Jefferson just east of Third, so the buildings at farthest right are actually south of Yesler, at least two blocks south of James.
