<p>This photograph looks north on 9th Avenue South and Stacy Street in Seattle. Several wooden buildings belonging to Frye &amp; Company are visible. Motorcars line the street as well as horses hitched to delivery wagons.  This area south of downtown Seattle was originally made up of tidal flats; soil dredged from the Duwamish River and sluiced from the Denny triangle and Beacon Hill regrades was used to create this industrial area needed by area businesses and railroads.
This photo is from an album of photographs documenting Beacon Hill and construction around Seattle in 1923, probably of projects by the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company (later  Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company), a major contributor to the construction of the Pacific Northwest. All of the photos were taken by noted Seattle photographer Asahel Curtis. </p>
