Description |
English: The brothers Clarence and Otto Langstaff were prolific amateur photographers in Seattle. Clarence worked as a carpenter and also spent time at Mt. Rainier as a guide. Otto worked for W.P. Fuller Company as a glazier and was a member of United Glass Union 188. Because most of their photos are not signed, it is often difficult to discern which brother was behind the camera. In this image, the photographer looks northeast towards Railroad Avenue near the foot of Washington Street. Railroad tracks and trains are visible, as is the steam plant stack on Western Avenue. The brothers Clarence and Otto Langstaff were prolific amateur photographers in Seattle. Clarence worked as a carpenter and also spent time at Mt. Rainier as a guide. Otto worked for W.P. Fuller Company as a glazier and was a member of United Glass Union #188. Because most of their photos are not signed, it is often difficult to discern which brother was behind the camera.
The building here with the Puget Sound Machinery Depot sign appears to be 62-68 South Washington Street, later the printing plant of Lowman & Hanford. The adjacent Prudential Building was completed by January 1905, dating this photo to mid-1904 or earlier. |
