This is looking north across James at Fourth Avenue. Cable car running on James Street. Seattle First Baptist Church (built 1899) at right. The James Street regrade was roughly 1904-1907.</li>
<li>Upper right is presumably, as labeled, the "[Denny] Regrade at 2<sup>nd</sup> and Virginia St Seattle". The ca. 1907 date seems a bit late, because the Moore Theatre and Hotel opened at that corner that year.</li>
<li>Lower left is captioned, "Denny Hill Regrade showing four streams"</li>
<li>According to the University of Washington Libaries, lower right is captioned, "Second Ave. regrade, Seattle." If correct, that could be the earlier regrade of the western part of Denny Hill, but it would appear to be the same image as <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Regrading_of_Third_Ave_showing_hydraulic_giant_at_work,_ca_1906_(SEATTLE_2108).jpg" title="File:Regrading of Third Ave showing hydraulic giant at work, ca 1906 (SEATTLE 2108).jpg">File:Regrading of Third Ave showing hydraulic giant at work, ca 1906 (SEATTLE 2108).jpg</a>, which looks more like it says "3 Ave Regrade Seattle".</li></ul>
