Jensen’s Trinity

Did you really think we could go a week with some photography from the venerable Max R. Jensen? No, no, no. Here is Jensen’s Trinity, as I’m calling it, Smith Tower, Court House and City Hall. I had the pleasure of attending a wedding reception last week atop Smith Tower in the Chinese Room and it is pretty amazing. Definiately check it out if you get the chance. Click!

Nice picture. A little hard to date since it’s a long shot, but it looks like the Frye hotel, on the far left, still has it’s fancy cornices. That would indicate the picture was taken before the 1949 earthquake, after which all those cornices that hadn’t fallen down were removed. As I recall, part of the Frye’s cornice fell in the earthquake and killed someone.
(Water tower!) Where is City Hall in this photo? Is it part of the courthouse or was the city meeting in the Morrison?
What is now the King County Courthouse originally functioned as both county courthouse and Seattle City Hall, and the park in front of the Courthouse is still officially called “City Hall Park” even though City Hall is now at the northeast corner of 4th and James (those of us who work in the Courthouse usually call the park “Muscatel Meadows”, however). Before the present building was built, it was also the site of an earlier city hall building (which also known as “Katzenjammer Kastle” as it was a ramshackle wooden edifice).
We had our wedding in the Chinese Room atop the Smith Tower and I can confirm that it is, indeed, pretty amazing.
I think many are used to seeing the tower from the south, against a backdrop of taller structures. It’s easy to forget, then, that it still commands an impressive view.
