1st Ave. and Yesler Way decorations for Henry Villard visit, September 14, 1883 - 641aaeaeedcf0bebde719304a91c059a

Transcribed from front of photograph: "Villard, Henry. Visit. September 14, 1883. Decorations on Commercial Street [1st Ave. S.] at Mill Street [Yesler Way]. 1. Gem Saloon. 2. Gardner Kellogg Drug Store. 3. Z. C. Miles Hardware store." Transcribed from back of photograph: "Gem Saloon. Gard. Kellogg's drug store. Head of Street--Z. C. Miles stoves, etc. Yesler Leary Block in dim distance."

Seattle Public Library credits this to Webster & Stevens, but it is way too early for them; presumably they at some point reprinted someone else's photo.
