Summary edit

Description

Part of key map, Seattle, Washington 1893 Volume 2, Sanborn-Perris Map Co. Limited, New York, (1893). Shows Lower Wallingford, Latona (now considered part of Wallingford), and Brooklyn (now the University District) before the street names were changed.

So few street names remain that it can be a bit tricky to get oriented on this. It is compounded by the fact that many of these names now apply to other streets, the street plan near the water is quite changed, and bridges are in different places. That said, here are some pointers.

The observatory at upper right (on the University of Washington Campus) remains in the same place. What was then "Brooklyn" is now 12th Avenue NE: see Paul Dorpat, Seattle Neighborhoods: University District -- Thumbnail History, HistoryLink, June 18, 2001. Wyandotte (a name only partly visible on this map) and Franklin Streets are now 45th Street. Part of Pasadena Avenue (or something near it) remains as Pasadena Place. Latona Avenue retains its name; the name "Latona" now also applies to what was then Cooper.

So Tremont Avenue is now 15th NE, Columbus Avenue is now "The Ave." Broadway is now Brooklyn NE.

A bit further west, the onetime Hester Avenue was later 6th and has been completely obliterated by Interstate 5. The former Stone Avenue has nothing to do with the present Stone Way (which I believe would be slightly west of anything on this map).

The route of the railway here is now more or less the route of the Burke-Gilman Trail through this area.

This is an image of a plastic-covered document: some reflections and also some shadow.
