Summary[edit]

Description
English: In the foreground is the Union Trunk Line (part of Seattle Electric Company at this point)'s dual-mode transit coach. It clamped on a cable for the ride up James Street from Pioneer Square to Broadway. There, it raised the power pole and continued as a streetcar. I think I can read the end of "Beacon Hill" across the top of the car.

Back left is the Pioneer Square pergola, which at the time sheltered seats as well as steps down to a bathroom. In the distance on the right is the clock of Burnett Brothers, which moved up to 2nd Avenue by the time this postcard was mailed.

Definitely taken no later than June 8, 1911, when this postcard was canceled by the post office. Or April, when the clock moved.

NOTE: From a set of public domain images collected by Rob Ketcherside. He applied a CC license on Flickr because Flickr does not offer a PD option. The description is largely his.

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file.
