Photograph

Denny Hill, before and during

Seattle · Probably 1890, and 1906

From the hill, probably 1890
The cut, 1906

What the picture shows

One picture is made from the hill, looking over the city. The other is the hill being cut, with the hotel left above the street.

Documented context

Not the same camera, and not the same year. A matched before-and-after from one corner was not the pair located. These are the closest two.

Photographer
Two photographs. See each frame.
Source
The same two files as the 1890 view from the hill and the 1906 Webster & Stevens hotel photograph. They are one chair here so they can be looked at together.
