Title
English: Laying the cornerstone of the Children's Orthopedic Hospital, Seattle.
Description
English: Building under construction at 2107 N. Warren St. Four men and one woman with trowel. At right is Rev. H. H. Gowen, and at far right, Rev. Mark Matthews.
  • Subjects (LCTGM): Construction--Washington (State)--Seattle; Cornerstone laying--Washington (State)--Seattle
  • Subjects (LCSH): Children's Orthopedic Hospital (Seattle, Wash.); Gowen, Herbert H. (Herbert Henry), 1864-1960; Matthews, Mark A. (Mark Allison), 1867-1940

Despite what the University of Washington Libraries say, "2107 N. Warren St." should almost certainly be "2107 Warren Ave. N." See https://qahistory.org/childrens-orthopedic-hospital/, which is quite clear that the hospital was at the same location as the present-day Queen Anne Manor, and that address would fit the location.

Also, the woman with the trowel would presumably be Anna Herr Clise, founder of the hospital. Face isn't visible, but her build and style of dress fit perfectly, and that would be the logical person for it to be.
