Summary edit
| Description |
"Looking down First Aveunue from Postoffice" from brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). A sign in the middle of the first building at left says "Hotel [illegible]". A sign in the middle of the first building at right says "Drugs". There are several signs on the last majorly visible building on the right. They are partially obscured. What can be seen appears to say "JOSE[] / [multiple illegible lines] / STOV[] / BAR[]". The first building on the right appears to be the Denny-Coryell building then at 1221 First Avenue, which had a post office on the corner (see page 112 of the same brochure). This would be the corner of University Street. Standing at this location in 2007, the Harbour Steps would be on your right; the Seattle Art Museum would be diagonally behind you on your left.. |
