Description
English:

The Bon Marché was founded in 1890 by German immigrant Edward Nordhoff and his wife Josephine. Originally located in Seattle's Belltown district at First Avenue and Cedar Street, in 1896 the store moved to a more central location downtown at Second Avenue and Pike Street. The Bon Marché went through much remodeling and construction throughout the years. This photo shows the excavation for the new building completed in 1929 at Second Avenue and Pike Street in downtown Seattle.
