Summary edit
| Description |
Page 138 of brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This page includes text plus three photos captioned, respectively, "J.A. Moore / Head of Moore Investment Co.", "John E. Ballaine, / of the Moore Investment Co." and "A window in the residence of Hon. John Collins, Minor Ave." Moore and his investment company are best known today for the Moore Theatre and Hotel (1907). He was probably the leading Seattle real estate developer of the time. There is no overt statement where on Minor Ave. former mayor Collins' residence was, but presumably it would have been First Hill (since the only other possibility is Cascade, a very unlikely place for a grand house). According to Polk's Seattle City Directory 1899 (Polk's Seattle Directory Co., 1899), p. 273, the address was 702 Minor Ave., which is, indeed, First Hill (and is now part of Swedish Medical Center). |
