Title2nd Ave., looking north from Cherry St., ca. 1913
PhotographerUnknown
Dateca. 1913
NotesThis photo predates August of 1914, and should be 1913. You may be able to verify this through buildings, but I was looking at the clocks on 2nd Avenue. I am looking at the clocks. There is a clock with a dark face at 1010 2nd, which is on the right side of the street near a streetcar and adjacent to a "United Cigars" sign. This clock belonged to L. L. Moore, who shut down and liquidated in 1913. Albert Hansen moved here in 1914, and put a different clock in its place. You can see that clock in an 8/1914 photo at the Seattle Municipal Archives #43364. So this could be after the metal superstructure was put up in 1913, and could possibly be in 1914 but certainly is before August. (Note per researcher 1/2013)

Shows the Hoge Building on 2nd and Cherry st.
