Title
Pioneer Square totem pole, ca. 1910
Description

Transcribed from postcard: "This unique pole was carved from a single cedar tree by a tribe of Indians inhabiting Tongass Island, Southeastern Alaska. It is sixty feet high and eight feet in circumference and was intended as a monument to a distinguished family. The pole stood for nearly a century on Tongass Island. It was discovered by a party of Seattle business men in August 1899 and removed by them to Seattle and presented to the City." The edge of the Seattle Hotel appears on the left followed by the Pacific Block, Interurban Building and Olympic Block.

"Discovered" on the back of the card is quite a euphemism. It was stolen. See Pioneer Square totem pole.
