Summary edit

Description
English: Second Avenue, Seattle, Washington, looking south roughly from Columbia Street, in summer 1914.


Editing down Rob Ketcherside's notes on this photo, "The clock in the foreground disappeared sometime after 1924. There was another clock just like it that arrived in 1908, the same year as this.

Some day soon I'll publish my database of every street clock that's ever been in Seattle, and where they've been at. This photo supplied 3 of the 500 entries in the database. In the far distance is the Stacy Shown street clock, before he moved it in front of the Smith Tower next door and added on some fancy lights. Check out comments on Rob's Flickr page for that clock today. Back behind the pocketwatch clock is another which I'm still developing a lineage for.

"This was an undated postcard, but the street construction on 2nd pins this to 1914. And the decorations on the lamp posts were for the Golden Potlatch, which ran in July. By August the decorations were down already."
