Summary

Description

Part of key map, Seattle, Washington 1893 Volume 2, Sanborn-Perris Map Co. Limited, New York, (1893). Shows Brooklyn (now the University District) before the street names were changed.

The observatory at upper right (on the University of Washington Campus) remains in the same place. What was then "Brooklyn" is now 12th Avenue NE: see Paul Dorpat, Seattle Neighborhoods: University District -- Thumbnail History, HistoryLink, June 18, 2001. Wyandotte (a name only partly visible on this map) and Franklin Streets are now 45th Street. Part of Pasadena Avenue (or something near it) remains as Pasadena Place.

This is an image of a plastic-covered document: some reflections and also some shadow.
