Thanks for the link. Odd, I scoured the same archives and didn't see that great photo. I think that that must be the building this meat market was in, no? Colin, that’s the one. Thanks for the link.

In 1950, it was the only building on the block over 2 storys. http://content.lib.washington.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/curtis&CISOPTR=94&CISOBOX=1&REC=13 Matt tj, that would be the 8-story Elks Temple, built in 1913.

However, I can't find any info on that building for love nor money. It was built no earlier than 1911, and if was built before 1920 it stood next to the Lincoln Hotel and survived the fire that destroyed the hotel. In any case it was there in 1951 when the Second Seattle Public Library was built across Fourth Ave, just four years after these photos were taken. At that time, the rest of the block was a parking lot, and I assume that it had been a parking lot ever since the Lincoln fire. Someone else may know more?
