<p>This view of downtown Seattle was taken facing east on Cherry Street at First Avenue. The 10-story building with the pointed roof on the right side of the frame is the Lowman Building at 107 Cherry Street. The building was designed by the architectural partnership of Heide and DeNeuf for James Lowman, and completed in 1906. As of 2017 the building remains standing and has retained elements of its original French Renaissance design. Another building in this image still in use is the Hoge Building, the 18-story building at the left of the frame, which was completed in 1911 at 705 2nd Ave., and is notable for it's innovative steel frame. </p>
