Rams Horn Winding Among Ware

Rams Horn Winding Among Ware
houses-Old Wharves aid Bunkers.
The water front has been revolutionized,
for there was no West street and the prin-
cipal thoroughfare was the old and tortu-
Gus right-of-way ofth Columbia & Puget
Sound railroad, running from Yesler ave-
nue. due north to about Madison street,
then diagonally across the lots and blocks
to Pine street. This right-of-way, with an
occasional piece of alley way running
where Post street now is, formed the only
means of access for teams engaged in
traffic on the water front. The line of
wharves was jagged and with no uniform
ity, while such thing as pier was un-
known, any vessel landing occupying two
or three contiguous pieces of water front
property. The only places of business at
that time were the corrugated iron ware
houses Of Baxter & Co. and Fl. W. Baker
& Co., then the ''Seattle Warehouse Com
pany," and south of them, lying north OF
Columbia street, were several large ware
houses occupied by n. A. Sanborn & Co.,
Avery, Kirk & Lansing. Knapp, Burrell 81
Co. and Fischer & Macdonald, while be-
tween Columbia and Yesler avenue were,
az is now, the Seattle. Lake Shore & East
ern depot grounds. There were the Seattle
tory, and between Madison and Marion
streets were the Commercial mills lumber
yard and sash aud door factory. IL was
the whistle of this mill which gave the
alarm of fire on that eventful day. On
Colman's warf were the local coal bunkers
of the Oregon improvement Company.
Between Seneca and University streets
stood David Kellogg's tanning and hide
depot, which caused many hot debates in
the city council by its offensive doors.
The facilities then were quite ample for
the business being done, as its volume
was small, but with the large growth Of
business requiring water front and ware
house facilities il would be impracticable
and almost impossible TO transact the
business with the old time arrangement
of the improvements on the water frontage.
A large part of Yesler's wharf was occu-
pied by Moran Bros foundry and ma
chine shop, the Mechanics mill. Charles
McDonald's blacksmith shop, and a num-
Der OF small buildings filed up the re-
naming space on each side of the road
way leading TO the warehouse. South Of
| Yesler avenue, on the eastern corner,
facing the railroad, was the Los Angeles
house, two-story frame structure, then
came the old Journal printing Office, and
then the old Seattle hotel on the same site
as the present building, on tire corner OF
Washington street. A row Of warehouses
reached half way to Main STR {, where
was two-story building occupied by the
| Columbia Il Puget Sound and the Puget
Sound Shore railroad offices.
On the west side Of the railroad Wa a

,ond and was not plankea and had only

yond and was not planked and had only
occasional scattering frame structures
along it, the fnrthest southern building be-
ing the dry-dock mill and engine-house.
On the opposite side of Commercial, next
the railroad, was the Standard Oil Com
pany's warehouse. About the middle of
this block, on point of land running out
into the bay, which had been quite land
mark before the tide-ilats were built over.
was the old Andrews house. owned
by Charles Anderson. On the cor
ner was a large three-story frame, known
as the w. d. Scott block, and owned by
the First National bank. The next block,
from Jackson street to Main street, was
built up solidly with two and three-story
wooden buildings, used as cheap lodging
houses and stores. On the corner was an
old wooden building used as a second
class hotel by c. c. Plummer, and known
as the fremont house.
On the site which is occupied by the
present New England hotel stood the old
New England, three-story frame which
had been several times enlarged and thus
was a patchwork of annexes. Around it
occurred the most exciting scenes Of the
anti-Chinese riots and it bore on its sides
the marks of many bullets. Its neighbor
was another wooden building owned by
Mrs. Sarah NJ. Renton and used as a
butcher-shop, a one-story brick, built by
Isaac Parker in 1877 for w. A. Jennings
grocery store, and occupied by him and
his successor, ID. A. Jennings, until it wa
finally rented by A. p. Hotaling d Co.
Then came one-story frames, the Monarch
saloon of t. J. Powers, George Rice's
Queen chop-house, then the Pantheon,
two-story wooden building used as q saloon
and lodging-house. The Marshall block
occupied the present site of the Marshall
block, at Washington and Commercial.
1t was occupied by Gottstein's clothing
store and other stores and offices.
On the northwest corner of Washington
were the one-story stone buildings of Dex-
ter Horton & Co. and Harrington & Smith.
They were begun in 1875 and were the first
stone buildings erected in the city. They
have just been torn down to make way for
fve-story modern structure. A row Of
one-story frames adjoined, occcpied by
Sam Kenny's tailor-shop, Lynch 81 Woods
furniture store, a paint store, a little jew
elry and shoe store, and Levy Bros cigar
store. Then Schwabacher's building is
reached again.

the front basement were Levin & Co. = cigar
store and the Washington Savings bank,
and the rest of the upper floors were offices.
Next to this. adjoining Post street,
was one-story frame building which had
been occupied by the postoffice, but since
the latter's removal to the Boston block
shortly before had been taken by the
Northwest Fruit Company. From this
point down to the wharf extended row
of one and two-story wooden buildings,
mostly old shanties which had been moved
by Mr.. Yesler from his Front street
property, which were occupied as beer
halls, lodging houses, machine shops,
Moran Bros foundry, commission ware
houses and steamboat offices.

where the Old Hotels Were and tho
Chinese Riot Ragged.

Commercial street was more decidedly a
main thoroughfare than now, and was the
location of some of the principal hotels
and stores. On the east side, next to the
Colman block, were one-story frames occu-
pied by NJ. A. Kelly's drug store. cigar
store, McAleer's stove store, Smith Bros
butcher-shop, the NJ. & n. saloon, then
Frauenthal Bros two-story brick, which
had Just been completed. Next came two
saloons, and on the corner of Washington,
where the Kittinger block stands, was the
Esmond beer hall of George K. Beede.
Mr.. Beede also owned another place that
was a famous resort. 1t was the big Palace
restaurant, in the Colman building, on
Front street. It was the leading restaur-
ant of the city, employing about sixty
walters and feeding about 5000 persons
daily When Mr.. Beede saw that the fire
was likely TO burn him out, he sent out his
father with several thousand dollars to
buy out a restaurant further south. The
Arlington, on Commercial street, was
bought, the money paid, and within an
hour it, too, was burnt.
On the southeast corner of Washington,
now occupied by the Ramona saloon, was
the old Bank Exchange saloon, q two-story
frame, built early in the COS by L. V.
Wyckoff for q blacksmith shop. When
Mr.. Wyckoff, who was afterwards sheriff
for twenty years, forsook blacksm;thing
for politics, he rented it to Thomas and
William Clancy, who ran a saloon in it for
many years and finally sold their business
to James Smith and E. c. Huntley. A
row of small frame structures followed
until the two-story brick block. built by
Messrs. Mcknight, Walker and Renton,
was reached. On the corner of Main street,
now occupied by the Squire Latfmer block,
was the Hotel Brunswick, three-story
frame, originally built by Watson G.. Squire
as an opera-house, and known as Squire's
opera-house.
The old Arlington hotel, a three-story
frame building 60x120 feet, stood on the
south side of Main street. 1t was erected
in 1876, but was not opened until four years
later. 1t was adjoined on the south by
the new Morse building, which was an an
mex to the hotel and in the front part
of the ground of which was the
restaurant bought by Mr.. Beede on the
day of the fire. Then with the vacant lot
intervening, came the Oakland house, a
two-storv frame where the Leland house
is now, the Senate saloon and Dearborn's
brick office on the corner. Across Jack
son street was the Almond & Phillips
foundry; next to the railroad and below

A Memorable Scene Recalled by Yesler,s
Hall and tho Maple Trees.
Among old residents Yesler's hall and
the maple trees in front of Henry L. Yes.
ler's old house will always be associated
with the lynching of three murderers on
January Is, 1882, as the result of a ponuIar
uprising against the lenient treatment of
criminals by the courts. On the evening
of January II in that year George P. Rev.
nolds, clerk in w. A. jennings stora
while on his way down town after sumner
was shot down On Marion street near
Third by couple of footpads and died two
hours later. Several robberies had been
committed recently, presumably by the
same rufflans. The fire bell was sounded
200 people met, organized vigilance COM
mittee and sent out guards to patrol the
streets in search of the murderers. Tbev
were captured that night, concealed arnonr
some bales on Harrington & Smiths wharf
by Gardner Kellogg, John keenan, and
William Jones, and were taken to the old
jail on South Third street, L. V. wvckoff
the sheriff, and John II. McGraw. the cb;af
of police, giving their word that thew
would be taken before the magistrate in
the morning. Their names were lanes
Sullivan and William Howard.
AT O'Clock next morning. Januarv ts
the hearing began in Yesler's hall before
Justice 5. +. Coombs. The prisoners were
placed in the middle of the STAGE. behind
the justice, while the attorneys and other
dignitaries, including Chief Justice Greene
and Judge Lewis, were grouped to their
right and left. The floor was occunied bv
vast throng of citizens, who listened in
silence as the evidence of MANY we'll
known men and women gradually de-
stroyed all doubt OF the identity of the
murderers. AS it became more certain
that the right men had been captured. one
after another Of the members of the yigi-
lance committee left the hall, went around
to the alley and entered again at the rear
