Summary
Pioneer David Denny owned the land south of Lake Union. In 1882, he opened the Western Mill on the lake's southern shore. A small community soon grew up around the lumber mill. By the end of the 1880s, streetcars and roads had been built, and the area lost its rural look.
Typed on sleeve: Western Mill on Lake Union, David T. Denny, owner. Located on Mercer Street, bordered by Westlake Avenue and Ninth Avenue North and the lake shore. Ca. 1893-95.
