<p>Emil Sabastian Schanno (1872-1936) and Alice May (Cameron) Schanno (1869-1952) lived most of their married lives near Alki Point in West Seattle, where they operated one of the area's first restaurants, at 2758 Alki Avenue SW. Around the same time that the Schannos opened their restaurant, Alki Point had begun to grow into a destination resort area for Seattleites escaping rapid urbanization. Along with restaurants, other attractions included a natatorium (a building housing a swimming pool), a dance hall, the Stockade Hotel and cottages, a steamer providing hourly service from Seattle's central waterfront, and in 1908 a trolley line.
In this image Alice Schanno and her sister enjoy a meal at an a outdoor table. The location is probably outside the Schanno's home, where they also managed a restaurant. </p>
