The Denny Real Estate
Cabin, built in 1889 by his son-in-law Ed Lindsley, and grandson
Lawrie Lindsley--the photo was taken in 1901 after the cabin
had been converted to a single family residence--the small baby
in
the
window is Evangeline
Edwards. (cabin moved to Federal Way in 1966). The cabin was
located on the southwest corner of Republican and Queen Anne
Ave.

The S&M Market located at Boston and
Queen Anne Ave. was a mainstay on the corner for many years.
It became Ravenna Gardens, and now is a location for
Peet's
Coffee-- a 3rd coffee house at that particular intersection. |
This house at 7th Ave West
and Galer was built to take advantage of the wonderful westerly
views. Today a large garage has been inserted under the porch
in the foreground. |

A portrait of Seattle pioneer David Denny, around 1885,
taken from the book by his daughter Emily Denny entitled "Blazing
the Way". David and his wife Louisa were owners of most of the
real estate now known as Uptown. Most streets in the area were
named for or about the Dennys, including Republican (David was
one), Thomas and John streets(both sons).

A later photo of the Kinnear House. The
house immediately to the rear was also built for use by the Kinnears--George
and his wife Angie moved into it when the front house became
too big for them. His son Charles and his wife lived in the front
house until
Charles'
death around 1958. (Destroyed)
