English: Butterworth & Sons funeral wagon, Seattle, circa 1905 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: After moving to Seattle in 1892, furniture maker Edgar Ray Butterworth (1847-1921) went full time into the undertaking business, motivated by the $50 paid to take each dead body off the street. A pioneer of the modern approach to the business of undertaking, he built the city's first custom-built modern mortuary in 1903, the Butterworth Block at 1921 First Avenue. This image shows one of Butterworth & Son's impressive funeral wagons, which were stored in the basement of the four story building, accessible via Post Alley. Clarence Bagley credits Butterworth with owning the first hearse north of the Columbia River.
