Guy C. Phinney (1852-1893) was a wealthy Scottish immigrant who developed a private estate that became Woodland Park (later Woodland Park Zoo). Phinney built a large house, a formal garden, and erected an impressive stone entrance at 50th and Fremont Avenues, in addition to a menagerie in the northwest corner of his 179-acre Woodland Park Estate in 1889. He also built a bandstand, hotel, and set paths through the wooded hillside down to Green Lake, where he built a bathing beach, bathhouse, and ballfield. In 1890 he established a streetcar line to shuttle visitors (and prospective home buyers) between the Fremont neighborhood to the south and the park. Phinney's plans to develop the park and adjacent land holdings ended with the national economic "Panic" and his sudden death at the age of 42 in 1893. In 1899, the City of Seattle purchased the estate, and in 1903 John C. Olmsted (1852-1920) designed the first plan for its permanent "Zoological Gardens." Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo is now regarded as one of the nation's best zoos.
