Downtown view looking east between Cherry and Columbia Streets, Seattle, ca 1898 (MOHAI 67)

The photographer may have been standing atop the Daily Journal of Commerce Building to capture this view of turn-of-the-century Seattle. Looking east and slightly south from Post Alley between Cherry and Columbia, many of the city's prominent buildings are visible, including the King County Courthouse on the right.
