TitleWashington Hotel during regrading of Second Avenue, Seattle, 1906
PhotographerUnknown
Date1906
CaptionWorkers began regrading Seattle's Denny Hill in 1898. At first, the owners of the Washington Hotel didn't want the city to remove their part of the hill. This left the hotel sitting on a raw peak of land while the blocks to the west were regraded. In 1906, the owners decided to tear the hotel down and regrade the property after all. The hotel was torn down in 1907.

This photo shows the Washington Hotel while the hill is being regraded. It was taken around 1906.
NotesHandwritten on mount: Denny Hill Regrade.
