Summary edit

Description

Page 100 of brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This page includes text plus a photo captioned as "The store of Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co." The company (founded 1882) still exists as of 2007, although they are now based in Wilsonville, Oregon.

Visible signs in the photo say (from top to bottom):

"Implements."
"Wagons and carriages."
"Mill machinery."
"Engines and boilers."
"Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co."

In the window at left:

"Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co. / Staver & Walker Co. / Machinery & vehicles."

In the window at right:

"Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co. / Mining / Mill and farm machinery"

In addition, the name "Walker" can be seen in relief on the upper right corner of the building. There are several buildings in present-day Seattle known as "the Walker building"; this doesn't appear offhand to be any of them.

The building location is given on the following page in the brochure as 308–310 Occidental Avenue. That address doesn't make sense to me. More likely, it is 308–310 First Avenue S., which is where Polk's Seattle City Directory 1899 (Polk's Seattle Directory Co., 1899), p. 690 puts them. That would be the building variously known as the Marshall-Walker Building or (nowadays) the Globe Building, which houses the Elliott Bay Book Co.
