Summary
| Description |
"Hotel Seattle, junction of Yesler Way and James St. Known as Occidental Block, erected and owned by John Collins", from brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This 200-room hotel in the heart of the Pioneer Square neighborhood was built in 1890 right after the Great Seattle Fire as the Occidental Hotel, but soon renamed as the Hotel Seattle. By 1914, it had been repurposed as an office building. It was demolished in 1961, replaced by the "sinking ship parking lot". See Paul Dorpat, Occidental Hotel: The Rise, Fall, Rise, and Fall of Pioneer Square's Historic Hotel -- A Slide Show Photo Essay on HistoryLink. Frame 5 of that sequence is a cropped version of this same image. Other buildings partly visible in this photo are the Pioneer Building on the left (still standing as of 2007), the Olympic Block on the right (partly collapsed 1972, demolished 1974) and (behind the Hotel Seattle on the left, at Second and James) the Collins Block (still standing as of 2007). |
