Gunther’s Observation Tree

This probably would have been a nice vantage point for a fireworks display. I’m unsure whatever became of this structure and whether anything remains from it. Over the years this well known Seattle area postcard had this stamped on the back: “This tree is located at terminus of Lake Burian car line, large tracts of land with Sound view at this point for sale on easy terms – Geo. Gunther owner, office at terminus of Lake Burian Electric R.R. – R.F.D. No. 4 Seattle, Wash.” This interesting website also mentions Gunther’s. Click on the card’s thumbnail for higher res.
The Halfway House Menu

Nothing gets the taste buds up and running like old food. Vintage Seattle reader Charles Anderson wrote in with scans of The Halfway House menu. It’s always fun to look back and see what was cooking in the kitchen and for how much. I’ll check with Charles to see if he has a rough date on this one and whether he has any idea whatever happened to the rest araunt. Click for higher res.
