| Description |
English: In the 1890s, the U.S. Army built a group of forts to protect the entrance to Puget Sound. One of these, Fort Lawton, was begun in 1898 in what is now Seattle's Discovery Park. By 1910, a group of wooden buildings had been built around the fort's parade ground. Few companies were stationed there until World War II, when the fort became a center for troops leaving for duty in the Pacific. In this postcard from around 1909, troops stand at attention on the Fort Lawton parade ground in Seattle. Caption on image: Dress Parade, Fort Lawton, Seattle, Washington. Handwritten on verso: May 9 09 - Teddy from Mrs. J. Dofflemyer. Caption by MOHAI staff.
