File:Hotel Seattle - 1900.jpg
Summary
"Hotel Seattle, junction of Yesler Way and James St. Known as Occidental Block, erected and owned by John Collins", from brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This 200-room hotel in the heart of the Pioneer Square neighborhood was built in 1890 right after the Great Seattle Fire as the Occidental Hotel, but soon renamed as the Hotel Seattle. By 1914, it had been repurposed as an office building. It was demolished in 1961, replaced by the "sinking ship parking lot".
