Description
English:

Illustration from Northwest Magazine, February 1891 Caption on image: Seattle. View on front Street looking north from Occidental Square

  • Subjects (LCTGM): Street railroads--Washington (State)--Seattle; Carts & wagons--Washington (State)--Seattle; Drawings
  • Subjects (LCSH): Pioneer Square (Seattle, Wash.); Pioneer Building (Seattle, Wash.); First Avenue (Seattle, Wash.); James Street (Seattle, Wash.); Yesler Way (Seattle, Wash.); Central business districts--Washington (State)--Seattle; Seattle (Wash.)--Buildings, structures, etc.
Most of this is a reasonably accurate representation, but the building at far left is basically fictional but could be based on Elmer Fisher's original design for the building that would eventually become the Mutual Life Building. Also, no idea where the term "Occidental Square" came from; the point of view does appear possibly to be from the Occidental Block (a building).
