| Description |
English: A building boom started in Ballard after it was incorporated in 1890. Building streets was a real challenge. Loggers cut the trees, and teams of horses and mules dragged the stumps out of the ground. In a few cases, routes were laid out around stumps that couldn't be pulled. The streets then had to be cleared of debris, plowed, harrowed, and graded. Crews laid down wooden planks on some streets to make it easier to travel in mud. This photo, taken sometime in the 1890s, shows a street grading crew and their animals posed for the photographer in the 900 block of West 57th Street in Ballard. Original photograph: ca. 1890. Copied after 1975 by the Museum of History and Industry.
