Look up on 7th and Westlake — you can see Hotel Larned and the triangular building next door survive. The Orpheum was torn down in 1967 and (according to HistoryLink) took longer than expected to demolish due to its “sturdy construction.” Yeesh. Click for the high res.

Blethen and family outside their home. When you’re a Blethen I suppose there’s no stopping you from rolling your hot ride right onto the lawn! And in true Seattle fashion, the house is no longer around (sigh). Allen writes:

I had no idea what i was buying at the time. I was only interested in the image of the car. Imagine my surprise when a quick internet search turned up all the info on the Famous Blethen family of Seattle. A slightly deeper search turned up the info on the house. (The link at the Flickr account shows other images of the home.)
