<p>Carl Ferdinand Schmitz (1878-1939) was born in Germany on Oct 10, 1878 and moved to Seattle in 1896. He and his brother opened the old Rathskeller at Second and Cherry Streets in 1911. The Rathskeller moved to the second floor of the Baillargeon building. However, Schmitz sold it to James Morrison in 1903. In 1914 he and his brother bought the Carolina Court apartment building, at the corner of Eastlake &amp; Mercer, which still stands to this day. </p>
