Summary edit
| Description |
English: Hand-tinted photograph, Seattle c. 1889 / 1890, certainly less than a year after the Great Fire. Looking south from roughly Cherry Street, across Yesler Way to what would then have been Commercial Street South and is now 1st Avenue South. (The first block, above Yesler, would be just 1st Avenue, which was then Front Street). This picture, taken less than a year after the Great Seattle Fire, shows some of what was rapidly rebuilt in what was then the heart of Seattle's business district. Many of these buildings survive today. Pioneer Place, where this was taken, is now known as Pioneer Square. At right are the Starr-Boyd Building (designed by Elmer H. Fisher, now demolished; there's been a parking lot there for more than half a century), the first floor of what would become the Mutual Life Building, and (across Yesler) the 2-story Scandinavian American Bank building (now Yesler Building, and with an additional story) and Schwabacher Brothers & Co.. Along the street are tracks and a car of the Front Street Cable Railway Company. At left is the Olympic Block (partially collapsed 1972 during a remodel, demolished in 1974); just past that is the State Hotel and Delmar Building (a.k.a. Lombardy Building). |
| Date | circa 1889; the "Boyd and Braas" credit means no later than 1890, when their partnership split, and this is clearly at least a few months after the Great Seattle Fire (1889-06-06). |

| Permission (Reusing this file) |
Source claims rights, but it's hard to see on what basis. Scanned from a print, not the original negative; a hand-tinted photo from a professional photography company almost certainly would have been made for publication (and note the caption at lower right and imprint at lower left in the image itself). |
