In the spring of 1889 , at the age of 11 , Lindsley helped with the construction of his father 's log cabin , known as the Denny Cabin . This cabin was built at the foot of Queen Anne Hill at the intersection of Temperance ( renamed to Queen Anne Avenue North ) and Republican Streets , and later relocated to the city of Federal Way . On June 6 , 1889 , just five weeks after this cabin was completed , he stood with one of his sisters on a hill overlooking Seattle and watched the city burn in the Great Fire
