| Caption | Joseph E. "Daddy" Standley founded Ye Olde Curiosity Shop at 2nd Avenue and Pike Street in Seattle in 1899, purveying Indian curios and other items. The store has moved several times over the years, but the family business survives today on Pier 54 in Seattle, run by "Daddy" Standley's great grandson and his family.
Standley is show here with a young girl, probably his granddaughter, at his home in "Totem Place" in West Seattle. He had as many as 13 totem poles at his home at one time. |
