Past Post: White-Henry & Cobb Buildings

November 29th, 2007 @ 1:27 am by Cliffe | Sorted Past Post |
It’s time to share another vintage postcard from the Vintage Seattle archives (which is actually just a few Ziploc bags over in the corner). This one comes from 1920 and shows the White-Henry

and Cobb Buildings which were located on 4th and University. The White-Henry-Stuart buildings were all torn down in the 1970′s to make way for the hideous Rainier Square Tower. Luckily, the Cobb still stands and was just converted into apartments last year. I’m going to do my best to decipher the handwriting, but please feel free to correct

my mistakes in the comments. And don’t forget to click on the images of the postcards to get a closer look.

Dear John, Mary, & Children,
Just received a letter from Minnie from California and we where certainly surprised as we are on our way to spend the winter in San Diego and El Certino is a short distance so we will visit them. We are going there for my health as I have been suffering from Bronchitis and the Dr. has sent me to a warmer climate. You will here from us from California. Ernie is in New York State and making lots of money. Love from all Albert & Louis.

    Yes, indeed. Ernie IS in New York making a lot of money. Sadly, it’s not because of real estate or stock options. He’s dabbled in dealing heroin. Sad, sad state of affairs.

    Brilliant, Shipley! I never even imagined poor Ernie’s tattered life would be like that.

    Albert and Louis sure seem like a chatty bunch though spreading the bronchitis away, I’m sure!

    Call me crazy but I actually like the Rainier Tower. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki, it was! (Do we have anything else of his around besides the Pacific Science Center?)

    I also once had a dentist in the Cobb…
