| Title | Taggart Motor Co. and Georgetown City Hall, Seattle, 1925 |
| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | 1925 |
| Caption | Before it was annexed to Seattle in 1910, Georgetown was a separate city connected to Seattle by streetcar. By the mid-1920s, Georgetown was just a short drive away in the family automobile.
This 1925 photo shows evidence of both the old and the new transportation. Taggart Motor Company, the Ford dealership, sits on Stanley Avenue near the streetcar tracks. The old Georgetown city hall with its pointed clock tower is in the right background. |
