Summary

Description
English: Three Seattle buildings, 1909. From left to right, the Perry Hotel, the Federal Building, and the Lowman Building. Three photos and decorative borders.


The Perry Hotel was on the southwest corner of Madison and Boren on First Hill. In 1916 it became the Columbus Sanitarium (later Cabrini Hospital), which operated until 1990. After various modifications over the years, the building was demolished circa 2000 despite protests by preservationists.

This Federal Building at the corner of Third and Union, later simply the downtown Seattle branch of the post office, was demolished (I believe in the 1950s) for the current downtown Seattle branch.

The Lowman Building still stands on Pioneer Square.
Date Dated 1909-02-20; photos were probably recent then.
