Title
English: Seattle Traction Co. trolley
Description
English: The trolley was photographed at the old Henry Yesler property on Jefferson St. and 1st Ave.
  • Subjects (LCTGM): Street railroads--Washington (State)--Seattle
  • Subjects (LCSH): Seattle Traction Company

So says UW Library Special Collections. But there's a problem with that location. There isn't, and presumably never has been, a corner of "Jefferson St. and 1st Ave". Plus, anything near that part of First Avenue would have been way more built up than this by 1907.

Probably the remnant of the former Yesler home at Third and James that became a library and then burned on January 2, 1901. Photo at File:Seattle_Public_Library_-_1900.jpg.
