Title
English: Western Cooperage Co., Seattle.
Description
English: View of building located at 1327 W. Ewing St. from the water.
  • Subjects (LCTGM): Coopers--Washington (State)--Seattle; Industrial facilities--Washington (State)--Seattle; Piers & wharves--Washington (State)--Seattle; Waterfronts--Washington (State)--Seattle
  • Subjects (LCSH): Western Cooperage Company (Seattle, Wash.)

1327 W. Ewing St. is on the south side of Salmon Bay/Lake Washington Ship Canal, just east of the present-day Ballard Bridge. However:

  • http://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv86236 describes Western Cooperage Company's Seattle facility as "on the eastern shores of Lake Union", though nothing in the photograph collection linked there makes the location any clearer than in the present photo
  • Clarence B. Bagley's History of Seattle (1916) gives the address as 1327 Ewing St., but does not follow that with a direction such as "W."
  • "A Well-Equipped Cooperage Establishment," Pacific Fisherman, volume XX, No. 6 June 1922, p. 36 et. seq. refers on p. 37 to the company's "present site on Lake Union" and says it "operated for years … before the [Lake Washington Ship C]anal was completed in 1917."
Still, given the address: there has certainly not been a Ewing St (or E. Ewing St.) in the Eastlake vicinity in the last few decades, and I (Joe Mabel) see no indication of one on File:Seattle-1911-map.jpg, nor on File:Seattle Map 1914 (5855306176).jpg, both of which show the present-day W. Ewing St., which was apparently major enough to have a streetcar line.
