Description |
English: This image of Seattle faces southeast across Pike Street, toward Mount Rainier, which is just visible beyond Beacon Hill. According to "Choir's Pioneer Directory," at the time of this photo Seattle had 4,681 residents, 586 buildings, and seven miles of wooden sidewalks. The large square building in the upper left corner of the frame is the Territorial University, built in 1861 between what is now Fourth and Fifth Avenues and University and Seneca Streets. The Territorial University became the University of Washington upon statehood in 1889, and in 1895 moved to its present location on Lake Washington. There are at least two different sets of photographer's marks on the negative; the original two-part panoramic photograph was taken by Peterson Bros. who identified on the negative several of the main streets as well as Mt. Rainier and Elliott Bay. Later, copies were made by Theodore Peiser and Asahel Curtis, one of whom wrote an identifying number on the negative, 32737. Handwritten on negative: Pike St.; Third St.; Second St.; Union St.; Mt. Rainier 14,444 ft high; Elliott Bay; Seattle, W.T.
