Title
English: 2nd Ave., looking north from Cherry St., ca. 1913
Description
English:

This photo predates August of 1914, and should be 1913. You may be able to verify this through buildings, but I was looking at the clocks on 2nd Avenue. I am looking at the clocks. There is a clock with a dark face at 1010 2nd, which is on the right side of the street near a streetcar and adjacent to a "United Cigars" sign. This clock belonged to L. L. Moore, who shut down and liquidated in 1913. Albert Hansen moved here in 1914, and put a different clock in its place. You can see that clock in an 8/1914 photo at the Seattle Municipal Archives #43364. So this could be after the metal superstructure was put up in 1913, and could possibly be in 1914 but certainly is before August. (Note per researcher 1/2013)

On verso of image: North on Second Avenue from Smith Tower, 1920s ?

This would be a view from the Smith Tower while it was still under construction. According to a postcard clearly based on this photograph, the picture is indeed 1913 and was taken by Frank H. Nowell. That makes sense, because Nowell took a series of photos documenting the construction of the Smith Tower.
