Stetson established his company in 1874 according to the cover of the plans book, however the <em>History of Seattle</em>
 gives a date of 1875. Initially a grist mill at Yesler's wharf, it 
wasn't long before equipment was adding for workwork milling also. J. J.
 Post joined the company in 1875. The company quickly outgrew its site 
and was relocated to a new plant at First Avenue South at King and 
Weller beginning its operations in 1882. Stetson & Post Mill Company
 was incorporated in 1885 with Post retiring before 1890. It became a 
substantial concern in South Seattle for some years, despite burning to 
the ground twice and moving several times. By 1915, it was relocated at a
 new plant at Hanford Street and Whatcom Avenue. It was located there 
when the 1924 house plans book was issued.</div><div>http://www.antiquehomestyle.com/plans/stetson-post/index.htm<br /></div>
