Summary[edit]

Description
English: Looking north on First Avenue, Seattle, Washington from just north of Cherry Street, circa 1910.

The clock on the left belonged to L. W. Suter. I believe he installed it after he purchased this jewelry store from Gerhard Benninghausen in 1905. He replaced it or remodeled it when he moved up to 2nd.

On the right, behind the streetcar, is the clock of Burnett Brothers in the Sullivan Block at 720 First, on the corner of Columbia. They bought out Richards in 1906 and moved up to the Burke Building on 2nd in 1912. [That's at least slightly wrong, because the building on the corner is the Brunswick Hotel; the Sullivan is one building south. - Joe Mabel]

(Earlier I thought that this was the clock of Albert Hansen. And while it may actually be the same clock, it's in front of the wrong storefront here. And this is after Hansen moved a half block south.)

Postcard published by Reid.

There was a lower quality version of this created for the Golden Potlatch in 1911.
