Significance |
|
This highly altered four unit apartment flat in the Squire
Park neighborhood, between First Hill and the Central Area, was
constructed in c. 1901. The Squire Park area developed between 1890 and
1910 as a residential neighborhood with single family homes and scattered
apartment buildings. The nearby Yesler Way cable car line to Lake Washington opened in 1888 and transit lines and
related commercial and residential development continued to expand, as Seattle experienced a major population
growth following the 1898 Alaska Gold Rush and into the first decades of the 20th
Century.
