This 1899 Darius Kinsey photo, looking south from the site of P.A. Woolley's sawmill, shows the triangle where three railroads crossed and Northern avenue running horizontal, east-to-west, across the top third. We can see the Seattle Lake Shore & Eastern train to the right, coming from Seattle to Sumas, and the Seattle & Northern train on the track along Northern avenue, running from Ship Harbor upriver to Hamilton. At the right or west end of Northern avenue, you can see a two-story building, which was the Keystone Hotel, and beside it is the one-story Gem Saloon; both are mentioned in this story. Click on the photo to the see the much larger version that shows a lot more area and details. |
