Summary
editDescriptionLeveling the Hills of Seattle.jpg |
"Leveling the Hills of Seattle to Build Skyscrapers". The skyscraper in the photo was originally known as the New Washington Hotel and still stands, as the Josephinum, 1902 Second Avenue, Seattle, Washington. The building is listed as a city landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places, ID #89001607. It is now subsidized housing. The regrade in progress here would be one of the many in the slow process of removing Denny Hill and creating the landscape of today's Belltown and Denny Regrade. The view here appears to be roughly SSW from what would now be somewhere between 3rd and 4th Avenues on Virginia Street. |

Artwork of Seattle and Alaska, 1907, W. D. Harney Photogravure Publisher, Racine, Wisconsin. Copied by taking a photograph of a page in a copy of the book at Seattle Public Library (Seattle Room of the Central Library); image cleaned up using GIMP, mainly using the perspective transform feature. This was a bit tough, because the pages did not lie flat, and of course one cannot press on things in a rare book, so I had a lot of curl to deal with. |
Author | Photo not clearly credited. (Expired) copyright was W. D. Harney, but that's the publisher. |
