Description |
English: Seattle's Portage Bay-Roanoke-North Capitol Hill neighborhood is located at the far northern end of the north-south ridge that forms Seattle's Capitol, Renton, First, and Beacon hills. Development during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century was spurred by the area's convenient location: close enough -- but not too close -- to downtown Seattle. Initially somewhat challenging to access, by 1906 the area had streetcar service. The neighborhood encompasses Interlaken Park, Roanoke Park, and Boren Park. This display features two panoramic photographs taken from the same spot, four months apart, at the beginning of a housing development. The view appears to be of E. Newton Street, looking northeast towards Union Bay. However, Washington Park Arboretum and UW Botanical Gardens is now located in this area, so the roads may have changed. Visible in the bottom photograph is a handpainted sign on the house at the left edge of the frame. It reads, "Long Bldg. Co.," and refers to the company owned by J. Stanley Long (1883-1959). Mr. Long built his first house in Seattle in 1906 and retired 50 years later, having contributed much to residential development in the city. Handwritten on mount: E. Newton St. - Dec. 15, 1911. E.
