Summary[edit]

Description

A pair of photos collectively captioned "The Seattle Theatre Building," from brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). The individual photos are further captioned "Seattle Theatre" (lower left) and "Interior Seattle Theatre" (upper right).

The Seattle Theatre was managed by J.P. Howe, Seattle's (and the Pacific Northwest's) preeminent impresario of the time. According to text on the next page of the same source, he controlled "all the first-class theatrical business of Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Walla Walla, Victoria and a number of smaller cities."

Image:Seattle_and_the_Orient_p141.jpg is the full page. Image:Seattle Theatre - 2 views - 1900.jpg is just the pictures. Image:Seattle Theatre interior - 1900.jpg is the interior.

Image:Seattle Theatre - 1900.jpg is a somewhat doctored version of the exterior photo: much of the upper right portion was cut off in the original by the layout, and I've done a quick and dirty job of reconstruction.
