Summary
[edit]
| Description | Page 80 of brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This page includes text plus a photo captioned "General view of works of Seattle Gas & Electric Co., showing a gas holder with a capacity of 860,000 feet." The previous page of the same brochure says that the plant was at Fifth Avenue and Grant Street. At the time, the Grant Street Electric Railway connected South Park to Seattle (crossing the Duwamish on a wooden trestle), so this is presumably the same Grant Street, but I don't know quite where that was. It doesn't show in Baist's Real Estate Atlas Surveys of Seattle, Wash. 1905 (G. Wm. Baist, Philadephia, 1905) nor is it listed in the street listing in Polk's Seattle City Directory 1899 (Polk's Seattle Directory Co., 1899). I suspect a name change. Polk's says Seattle Gas & Electric's gas works was at the corner of Jackson St. and 5th Avenue South, which at that time (pre-regrades) was near tideflats, and is now near the site of Union Station on the border of Pioneer Square and the International District. |
