Title
English: Looking north on Fremont Avenue, ca. 1892
Description
English: Seattle's Fremont neighborhood, northwest of Lake Union, was named for John C. Fremont, the western explorer. Fremont started in the 1880s as a settlement around a sawmill, and grew to a town of 5,000 before it became part of Seattle in 1891. Lake Union emptied into Salmon Bay through a narrow channel called the Outlet. By 1916, the Outlet had been enlarged as part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal.

This photo shows Fremont Avenue around 1892. A sawmill stands to the right of the small wooden bridge over the Outlet. Electric power lines run along the avenue, and electric streetcars roll along their tracks. The large square brick building in the distant center of the photo is B. F. Day School, dedicated in 1892.
