Title

Colman Building, ca. 1907

Description

The Colman Building, located at 811 1st Ave., was constructed by James M. Colman (1832-1906) in 1889 and expanded in 1906. Colman was a leading figure in the development of Seattle who was also responsible for the construction of the Colman dock along the waterfront. In 1972, the Colman Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It also received landmark status from the City of Seattle in 1990.

(1) This would be the rear of the building. (2) Probably this postcard is 1906 or earlier, because they've left space to write on the front. Since the building itself was completed 1906, it is either from exactly that year, or was not actually based closely on a photograph (the latter certainly being a possibility).
