Summary[edit]
| Description |
"Interior view of the store of Cooper & Levy" from the brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). The previous page of the same brochure states that it was at the southeast corner of Yesler Way and First Avenue South. At the time (1900) their business filled three stories of the building (known as the Olympic Block). Note 4 to Chapter 11 on the National Parks Service Administrative History of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park (TOC, Notes, Chapter 11: Establishing the Seattle Unit) describes the company as "a popular gold rush supply house" and says that a corner of the Olympic Block collapsed in 1972; it was immediately vacated and was demolished in 1974. The site stood vacant for over a decade before the construction of a modern building. According to Polk's Seattle City Directory 1899 (Polk's Seattle Directory Co., 1899), p. 276, the address was 104–106 1st Avenue S., and the proprietors were Isaac Cooper and Louis Levy. Polk's describes them as "wholesale and retail grocers". |
