Summary edit

Description

"The Seattle Daily Times—Exterior of the building" from brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). The Seattle Daily Times is now known simply as the Seattle Times.

In 1900, the Times offices were in the Boston Block on the southeast corner of Second Avenue and Columbia Street, one of the few buildings in the path of the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 that had survived intact. (A more comprehensive picture of the Boston Block can be seen at Paul Dorpat, Now and then: The Romanesque Empire, Seattle Times, 2003.)

Visible signs in the image say

  • "The / Times / Editorial / rooms" (on each of eight windows, with "The Times" in gothic lettering)
  • "The Seattle Daily Times" (in gothic lettering on awning)
  • "The Evening Times" in two storefront windows ("The" is in very small lettering, but it is there)
