File:Seattle Theatre interior - 1900.jpg
Summary
| Description |
"Interior Seattle Theatre", one of a pair of photos collectively captioned "The Seattle Theatre Building," from brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This is a somewhat doctored version of the exterior photo: much of the upper right portion was cut off in the original by the layout, and I've done a quick and dirty job of reconstruction. The Seattle Theatre, at the northwest corner of Cherry Street and Third Avenue, was managed by J.P. Howe, Seattle's (and the Pacific Northwest's) preeminent impresario of the time. According to text on the next page of the same source, he controlled "all the first-class theatrical business of Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Walla Walla, Victoria and a number of smaller cities." |
