Description
English:

In this photo, taken around 1860, Sarah Yesler, the wife of mill owner Henry Yesler, stands on the front porch of their white house. Some trees remain from the dense forest which originally covered the area. The elevated wooden flume which carried water to the city from a hillside spring is towards the right side of the picture. This is said to be one of the earliest surviving images of Seattle. Photographer E.A. Clark took the photo eight years after Seattle was settled. Webster & Stevens copied the photo sometime after 1902, but the original photograph no longer exists.

Original photographer: Clark, E.A., ca. 1860. Copied after 1902 by Webster & Stevens
