Seattle's Historic Hotels (Images of America) - Softcover
Synopsis
Mary Ann Conklin, also known as “Madame Damnable,” ran Seattle’s first hotel, the Felker House, which burned to the ground in the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. The Rainier Hotel was erected quickly following the Great Seattle Fire but razed around 1910. The Denny Hotel, an architectural masterpiece later known as the Washington Hotel, was built in 1890 but torn down in 1907 during the massive regrade that flattened Denny Hill. Upon opening in 1909, the Sorrento Hotel was declared a “credit to Seattle” by the Seattle Times. The Olympic Hotel was the place for Seattle’s high society throughout the 1920s. The Hotel Kalmar was a workingman’s hotel built in 1881 and was razed for the Seattle tollway. The Lincoln Hotel was destroyed by a tragic fire in 1920, along with its rooftop gardens. The famous and grand Seattle Hotel in Pioneer Square was replaced by a “sinking ship” parking garage, thus sparking preservationists to band together to establish Pioneer Square as a historic district.
