Description |
English: In the winter of 1913, the Seattle-based hydraulic contracting firm Lewis, Wiley & Morse began work on a regrade, fill and seawall project along Alki Avenue in West Seattle. The construction continued through 1913 and was completed in the spring of 1914. The project involved a hydraulic hillside regrade near the intersection of Fairmount Avenue and Alki Avenue. A new seawall was constructed along Elliott Bay and a municipal water system pipeline installed along Alki Avenue. The existing wood plank roadbed was also widened during the 1913-1914 projects. Alki Avenue was eventually paved in 1923 . This photo shows the plank roadbed along Alki Avenue, with railcars on tracks at left, and the Novelty Mill Company flour mill in the distance. Pipes for the new water sytem are visible at the right edge of the road in the distance. Caption on photo: No. 7. Lewis. Wiley & Morse, Inc. Alki Ave. regrade.
