Almost certainly 1909. Old Public Safety Building (at right) was completed that year. <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Public_Safety_Building,_400_Yesler_Way,_Other_Seattle_buildings,_1909_(SEATTLE_5180).jpg" title="File:Public Safety Building, 400 Yesler Way, Other Seattle buildings, 1909 (SEATTLE 5180).jpg">File:Public Safety Building, 400 Yesler Way, Other Seattle buildings, 1909 (SEATTLE 5180).jpg</a>, dated 1909 by the same library, shows a regrade under way that would at least have taken out the building clearly visible in the present between the two government buildings, and which involved the demolition of the old city hall.
