Transcribed from front of photograph: "Theaters. Squire's Opera House. Commercial Street [1st Ave. S.] between Washington Street and Main Street. Built 1876. Destroyed by fire June 6, 1889. 1880." Transcribed from back of photograph: "1. Clancy's Saloon. 2. Jake Levy, pawn broker. 3. Klein and Rosenberg; McNaught, McNaught and Mitchel, lawyers. 4. Hotel Brunswick and Squire's Opera House. 5. Stowell and Co., druggists, Max Heiber, tailor. 6. A. P. Hotaling, wholesale liquor dealer."

According to http://pcad.lib.washington.edu/building/15514/, the building was built Squire's Opera House 1879, converted to become the Brunswick Hotel September 1882. The sign here says "Brunswick Hotel".
Partnering with local saloon keeper-turned-wholesale liquor merchants John C. Nixon (Former proprietor of the Grotto Saloon) and Frank Algar, A.P. Hotaling incorporated his Seattle branch (A.P. Hotaling Company of Puget Sound) in November 1882, building a large wholesale warehouse on Yesler's Wharf and opening a sample room and office in the building at right, which had been built for Nixon by Franklin Matthias in the summer of 1882.
The brick McNaught, Walker & Renton Building on the left edge of the photo was also completed around November 1882.
Stowell & Co. Druggists, dissolved their partnership in March 1884.

Therefore, this photo was taken no earlier than November 1882 and no later than March 1884.
