Summary

Description
English: One of a pair of photos in the brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900), jointly captioned as "Some inside views of the Vulcan Iron Works". The picture is also individually captioned "Interior of machine shop".


According to the previous page of the same brochure, Vulcan Iron Works was located at Fifth Avenue and Lane Street, roughly at the western edge of what is now Chinatown within Seattle's International District, and covered an entire city block. At that time, the Chinese neighborhood was a bit further west and north. The Industrial District now begins a few blocks further south, at Dearborn. In 1900, the area around Fifth and Lane had not yet been regraded; the Jackson and Dearborn regrades were just about to happen, but had not yet occurred.
