DescriptionSeattle - south side of Yesler Way east of Second Avenue, 1920 (49516631528).jpg |
Item 47327, Engineering Department Photographic Negatives (Record Series 2613-07), Seattle Municipal Archives. English: South side of Yesler Way east of Second Avenue, Seattle, Washington, U.S, 1920. At left is the Frye Hotel/Apartments, still extant 2020. The building at center came down a couple of decades ago, I think shortly after 2000. On the corner at right, part of that building, was The Mocambo in the 1970s, and I think was not used again after that. Some of the building continued to be used past that, including a Coffee Corral that later became one of the city's first Thai restaurants. |

Lebanon Building, built in 1891 at the northeast corner of S. Main St. and Occidental Ave. S., Seattle, was known at various times in its roughly six decades as the Jesse George Building, Occidental Hotel (a name also used for several other Seattle hotels), Touraine Hotel, Palmer House, Fremont Hotel, and finally Tourist Hotel. It was damaged in the 1949 earthquake and demolished within a few years afterward. The space was a parking lot for over five decades before the construction of the Weyerhaeuser headquarters in the 2010s.
sign: "Tourist Hotel | Turkish baths | European Plan"
Cinema has a sign advertising "Extra Special Feature" but the title isn't legible.
