Title
English: Exterior of the Bon Marché store at Second Avenue and Pike Street, Seattle, 1900
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 it moved to a more central location downtown at Second Avenue and Pike Street. The building was originally built in 1891 by Josiah Collins and W.E. Bailey with 9 separate storerooms. The Bon would quickly expand from their single room at 1425-7 2nd Avenue, eventually occupying the entire building by the time this photo was taken and within 10 years would occupy 5 buildings covering most of the block.
