Summary

Description
English: Seattle: City Hall Park in foreground, behind which is the future site of the City-County Building, now King County Courthouse. The block was previously the site of the Henry Yesler mansion, which after his death became the first permanent home of the Seattle Public Library. It was destroyed by fire in 1904 and the lot remained vacant for several years. Nearly all of the buildings at left (across First Avenue) survive a century later. Nothing visible to the right of Third Avenue survives; the block beyond the courthouse site was replaced by the Public Safety Building in 1949, which itself was demolished in 2004 and remains a contentious hole in the ground to the current day.
