Hope you don't let the nay-sayers take any of your momentum away--I love the Dorpat books and would love to see more like it. I'm sure you've seen historylink.org. Do you know about the online municipal photo archive? http://clerk.ci.seattle.wa.us/~public/phot1.htm Great to see this new blog!

I appreciate you visiting and the information. In the future, I will give this feature a diferent angle, perhaps more in depth photos concentrating on the modern state of the building. Any feedback like this is much appreciated. Jess VintageSeattle.org Cool, thanks Dave. I appreciate you visiting and the information.

Just thought you should be aware of Dorpat's work (the Collins book is a take-off on Dorpat's previously published "Now and Then" book). His column in the Sunday paper has been going for something like 20 years and I look for it religiously every week. Good idea to change the title.

I have seen the Seattle Then and Now book by Jim Collins, but not Dorpat's work. In light of the titles of their books, I'll go ahead and change the name of the feature to "Reframe." Since I'm concentrating mostly on buildings, I hope this feature will still be of value and interest. Let me know what you think. Cliffe VintageSeattle.org Hey Geoff and Dave,

Is this Paul Dorpat's blog??
