Summary
| Description |
1893 map of part of Seattle, Washington. The map extends from the waterfront northeast to Front Street (now First Avenue) and from Pike Street northwest roughly to Virginia Street. Most of what is visible here now falls within the city-designated Pike Place Market Historical District. This considerably predates the Market, which began in 1907 (and Pike Place itself, built around that same era). West Street is now Western Avenue. Railroad Avenue is now Alaskan Way. Water Street is now Elliott Avenue, but I believe this portion of it no longer exists. This is not a great scan. The portion at right is clearly distorted: these streets run straight (except that Front Street jogs at Stewart). |
