Summary

edit
Description Pike Street at 4th Avenue in Seattle in 1956, with several trolleybuses in the block between 3rd and 4th Avenues, four in the curb lane and one in the center lane and serving a newly installed loading island. Four of the five trolleybuses are PCF-Brill units (built by Pacific Car & Foundry under license from the Brill Company), while the one that is farthest away is a Twin Coach unit. Nearest to the photographer are Brill No. 742 on route 12-East Cherry and Brill No. 792 on route 9-Broadway; those two routes still exist as trolleybus routes in the 2020s but reconfigured somewhat and renumbered as 4 to Judkins Park and 49 to University District via Broadway. Buildings in the background include the Joshua Green Building and the F.W. Woolworth's (which since 1995 has been a Ross Dress for Less store).
Date Taken on 4 October 1956
