The Currin-Greene Shoe Manufacturing Company was founded in 1908 at 225 Eastlake Avenue with a partnership between Hugh L. Currin and Warren Greene. In 1920 the company moved to a new factory building at 2715 Western Avenue. Currin-Greene manufactured boots and specialty work shoes sold throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. In particular, they were known for hand-made, cleated logging boots, constructed with top quality hides imported from Switzerland and Austria. Currin-Greene shoes were marketed in Seattle through retail outdoor outfitters such as the Carl Schermer store, shown here. They also operated a Currin-Greene factory store and had an outlet in Ballard at 824 NW 46th Street.
