Summary

Description
English: NOTE: From a set of public domain images collected by Rob Ketcherside. Linked photo (source on Flickr) has notes with texts of signs.

The bulk of the description here is his. He applied a CC license on Flickr because Flickr does not offer a PD option.

Looking north (actually NNW) on First Avenue, Seatle, Washington, circa 1903.

On the right is the clock of Albert Hansen. He moved south to the southeast corner of First and Cherry in 1906. We saw his clock in the postcard I posted last week - perhaps. That clock was actually owned by Burnett Brothers. It may have been the same physical object though.

This postcard is very similar to this Warner photo circa 1903.

On the left is the time ball of G. Benninghausen. Click through on the source to read about the time ball. My notes tell me he moved to this location no sooner than 1900. And that L. W. Suter actually took over his business in 1905. So I'm putting a circa 1903 date here, and we'll see if anyone can do better than that.

This postcard was sent by one Bertha Allen, 3620 Linden Ave, Fremont. I'm hoping this is the Bertha Allen who was a stenographer in the postmaster's office in the Federal Building. She had some harrowing adventures. Looking forward to looking this up in the city directories.
