Summary

edit
Description
English: Llewellyn, Dodge & Company map of Seattle, Washington in 1889. Depicts Seattle just prior to the fire of 1889.

This is scanned from a 1946 reprint by the Seattle Historical Society.


Note the mix of pre-Fire buildings and at least one post-Fire building in the insets. For example, The Toklas and Singerman Building (upper left) and Occidental Hotel (upper right) burned in the Fire; ditto for the Yesler-Leary Building (shown here as "First National Bank") and [Frye's] Opera House. Conversely, this shows the post-Fire Pioneer Building whose construction had just begun when the fire hit. It also appears that two portions of the Occidental hotel building are depicted as separate buildings to highlight the ground floor tenants who likely paid a lot for a vignette on the map.
