Summary[edit]
| Description |
Page 137 of brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This page consists of text plus two photos captioned, respectively "The Eastabrook Block / Second and Union—constructed by the Moore Investment Co." and "The Lincoln Apartment House. / Fourth and Madison—Seven stories, stone and white pressed brick—under construction by the Moore Investment Co." "Eastabrook" is almost certainly an error. Baist's Real Estate Atlas Surveys of Seattle, Wash., G. Wm. Baist, Philadelphia, 1905, plate 2, shows the "Estabrook Block" at the southeast corner of Second and Union (and "Estabrook" is a name still found in Seattle). This is now the northwest corner of Benaroya Hall (the symphony hall). Moore Investment Co. was J.A. Moore, best known today for the Moore Theatre and Hotel. I believe the Lincoln Apartment House, once "the first and finest apartment house west of Chicago," (Jacqueline Williams, Capitol Hill: A New Seattle Neighborhood, Courtesy of J. A. Moore, Columbia, magazine of the Washington State Historical Society, Spring 2002, Vol. 16, No. 1) no longer exists, either. |
