I recently dug up some unfinished tracks first begun in 1991 and decided to shape them into something resembling finished songs. Huge thanks to my old pal and collaborator, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@hypnophonic">Jon Bayless</a>, plus the indispensable sonic ministrations of <a href="https://shawnsimmonsmusic.com/">Mr. Shawn Simmons</a>.</p><p><br /></p>

But electric cars were, at least proportionately, more popular over a century ago. In 1912, gasoline powered only 22% of the cars sold in the US. Electric vehicles accounted for 38%. 40% of car owners opted for steam-driven conveyances. Americans of the time would have been familiar with dozens of automakers, big and small, most of which were history by the 1920s.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">One brand that lasted longer than most was Studebaker. This Asahel Curtis photograph shows a shiny new 1908 Studebaker Victoria Phaeton electric. The photo was taken from the curbside by the Studebaker Brothers dealership at 308 1<sup>st</sup> Avenue. The Seattle Times from April 15th describes a Victoria Phaeton road test around the streets of Seattle. This picture was probably taken to commemorate the event and I think it’s likely the man behind the tiller is Marcus W. Kincaid, the dealership’s manager.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The goal was to see how many times the little electric could make the round trip from downtown Seattle to the top of Queen Anne Hill. It was a challenge many Seattleites could relate to. Not all roads were fully paved in 1908. The final regrade projects were still in the future so downtown had several taller, steeper inclines than what we see today.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The article describes a circuitous route, starting at Pike and 2<sup>nd</sup>, winding past Vine, 1<sup>st</sup>, Harrison and Queen Anne Avenue, ending at 6<sup>th</sup> Avenue West and Lee Street, declaring that the highest elevation. The car returned to the starting point using roughly the same route and repeated the trip. The Studebaker managed the seven mile round trip four times with enough charge left over “to run around town for some time afterward,” proving that the cars were “quite suitable” for residents of Queen Anne Hill, going on to state that “no one would have occasion to make more than four round trips down town in a day.”<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Anyone needing that unlikely fifth trip would have to take a trolley like the one seen in the background of this photo -- or maybe one of the 80,000 horses residing in Seattle at the time.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"> <br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">CK<o:p></o:p></div></div><br />Clayton Kauzlarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927179401748707980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762329947181200306.post-40778674563839265812019-07-09T14:25:00.000-07:002022-11-30T12:00:47.389-08:00Bricks of Contention<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMn7lMPbv_l-HROWgHV8ufSeqHZTRPus4J_zm-kdHO5m0WS8rqJ4bIjkz8cTBBXDa03aga2qgdbDPx9oPLsn03FNBVdzg-0Ev6jDdrRRpWUNEoQ3Ne9sbflxJzBv5UUlETIj1Y4wUtBA/s1600/1912_10_19_Bremerton_2ndWashington_BrickCeremony_CORRECTED2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="758" data-original-width="1600" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMn7lMPbv_l-HROWgHV8ufSeqHZTRPus4J_zm-kdHO5m0WS8rqJ4bIjkz8cTBBXDa03aga2qgdbDPx9oPLsn03FNBVdzg-0Ev6jDdrRRpWUNEoQ3Ne9sbflxJzBv5UUlETIj1Y4wUtBA/s640/1912_10_19_Bremerton_2ndWashington_BrickCeremony_CORRECTED2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">The first brick is laid at the corner of 2nd and Washington October 19th, 1912, but there was trouble ahead.</span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />Seattle wasn’t above taking a patronizing tone with younger towns and communities over the last century, sometimes actively exerting influence over its smaller neighbors -- all in the interest of mutual prosperity, of course.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">A small headline in the Seattle Times in 1912 reads “Bremerton To Have Its Streets Paved.” The short paragraph that follows describes Bremerton’s mayor Paul Mehner and a large crowd gathered for the laying of the first brick at the corner of 2<sup>nd</sup> and Washington. The project was to cover ten blocks of the young city with a mix of bricks and asphalt for the price of $60,000.00. This photo probably depicts that October 19<sup>th</sup> ceremony.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">But the was story wasn’t so simple. The ongoing competition between Seattle and Tacoma soon surfaced in the bricks lining Bremerton’s streets. The bids received for the paving project were neatly typed up in the city council minutes but the winner, J.S. Kenyon, was hastily added by hand after the fact.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">After some correspondence and a factory tour the Bremerton city council clearly favored bricks from the Denny Renton & Coal Company in Seattle. Kenyon opted for a more affordable product from Standard Clay of Tacoma. Property owners, including the estimable Sophia Bremer, argued in favor of the Denny Renton bricks. But Kenyon was adamant – and he had the backing of friends and business partners at City Hall.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The debate only grew. An independent testing firm (from Seattle, of course) confirmed that the Tacoma bricks were uneven in shape and below the standard required by the contract. A lawsuit temporarily halted the paving work, ironically on the street shown in this photo. The issue ping ponged back and forth between the city council, lawyers and the contractor for over a year. The Seattle Times remarked that Bremerton’s plunge into “modern municipal activities” had brought “little happiness to residents and taxpayers.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">It appears the project was quietly completed more than a year later.

A few promotional items come close but nothing was exactly what I wanted. So, I gathered some source images and assembled my own.<br /><br />This was mostly done compositing source material in Photoshop with a lot of tweaking and rebalancing to get the texture and colors right. I did the typography but based it very closely on a ticket from 1909. The airship draws upon photo reference from the AYPE with a little hand retouching and color by me. That lead to making the sky much taller on the main aerial view. I also scaled up Mt. Rainier a bit and fixed numerous holes and stains on the original image.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJg05CWfQzwbbVCXJF4joTLxYxkY0_bnqcgewSLXBQHgllf-fjYIr0UqkCMd3hypWzlgXBZxBmm-4iTpU52fKN6qA6ygDlbzGDtXnD_-Saa1uzZ6b9L4F0Bi04Cgv_Www8323NZRTw-iQ/s1600/AYP_Poster_SourceMaterial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJg05CWfQzwbbVCXJF4joTLxYxkY0_bnqcgewSLXBQHgllf-fjYIr0UqkCMd3hypWzlgXBZxBmm-4iTpU52fKN6qA6ygDlbzGDtXnD_-Saa1uzZ6b9L4F0Bi04Cgv_Www8323NZRTw-iQ/s640/AYP_Poster_SourceMaterial.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Some of the items I used to create the poster.</span></em></div><br />There are plenty of design ideas that would make this poster more dramatic and eye-popping, but those often draw from the last century of design and layout thinking.

One of the biggest of these was the Belltown Fire on June 10, 1910. It started near the waterfront and swept into downtown Seattle reaching 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> Avenue, ultimately destroying six city blocks.

A friend sent me a photo of the original marquee being removed at Bremerton's historic Roxy Theater yesterday. Coincidentally, I photographed the Art Deco movie house a few weeks ago, planning to make a composite of a crowd lined up to see Star Wars in 1977. If you grew up in Kitsap County back then, chances are you saw the original trilogy at the Roxy. In Panavision. AND color. A lot of us will always be sentimental about walking under those neon lights for our first visit to a galaxy far, far away.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />It seemed like the Roxy's days as a movie palace were over years ago, but thanks to recent restoration efforts it reopened with a new marquee last month. <a href="http://farawayentertainment.com/location/the-historic-roxy-theatre/" target="_blank">And it's screening films once again!</a></div><br />CKClayton Kauzlarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927179401748707980noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762329947181200306.post-1053354821832609322017-08-07T18:18:00.000-07:002022-11-30T12:00:50.362-08:00Just Wild About Harry - POTUS 33 In Bremerton<div style="text-align: justify;"><em>After a year-long break, I'm back with some new/old photo composites -- This time venturing back to my home county.</em><em><br /></em></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">A recent eBay find netted some terrific snapshots of Harry S. Truman's visit to Bremerton, Washington on June 6th of 1948. This was the visit where many believe Truman's famous catchphrase "Give 'em hell, Harry!" was first shouted by a man in the crowd gathered on Pacific Avenue below the Elks Club (the present-day Max Hale Center) . A couple other towns tell a similar story but Bremerton's claim is pretty strong, or at least no worse than competing versions.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf8aAO3Tb773LMcUDs_jtKItzokn_0mJdIgLeReicSI8QcgvtmZQUPmxMDrvi10Yj5e8lyZlJUhu22Z0Qr1IUEvv17B4_D_y2iiXweBQ_wMdapldZ9C_B-_YUKechQWRGoqj5H3CbPSfE/s1600/Truman_KitsapVisit_1948_06_10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1128" data-original-width="1600" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf8aAO3Tb773LMcUDs_jtKItzokn_0mJdIgLeReicSI8QcgvtmZQUPmxMDrvi10Yj5e8lyZlJUhu22Z0Qr1IUEvv17B4_D_y2iiXweBQ_wMdapldZ9C_B-_YUKechQWRGoqj5H3CbPSfE/s640/Truman_KitsapVisit_1948_06_10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifh1lKlY3p8mLsmDVEkBj97yfVGetiYrXc6JtbBjYtU74c1j_vM2tHzZuleI_kQ1PWaoRcmuhI2pzNC950KFkjyd2v_IZMrWFM7tAAwHtAvpCNfkTlnvlt1Z3qb_ldmr-3ZfsqHw1LLAs/s1600/Truman_KitsapVisit_1948_10_06_B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1195" data-original-width="1600" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifh1lKlY3p8mLsmDVEkBj97yfVGetiYrXc6JtbBjYtU74c1j_vM2tHzZuleI_kQ1PWaoRcmuhI2pzNC950KFkjyd2v_IZMrWFM7tAAwHtAvpCNfkTlnvlt1Z3qb_ldmr-3ZfsqHw1LLAs/s640/Truman_KitsapVisit_1948_10_06_B.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br />The photos from before and during Truman's speech are easy to match with present-day Bremerton -- Many of the buildings, including the terraced rooftop outside the Elk's Club still exist. The photos of Truman and his traveling companions stopping shortly before arriving in Bremerton took a little more digging. At first glance, it's just a nondescript country road.<br /><br /><br />Newspaper stories during the presidential visit mention Truman leaving Olympia early that morning with his friend, Washington Governor Mon Walgren (no relation to the famous senator). One story in particular mentioned the group -- a car of staffers and a Cadillac convertible for the dignitaries -- taking Highway 3 through Shelton. A note on the back of the photo lists Bremerton's mayor L. "Hum" Kean among the group. Given the direction they were coming from and the need to add Bremerton's mayor to the group it seemed like they must have stopped somewhere just outside the city.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAXbMFc_0_oYc9JfHPJnCN79qyeiPvP4I_dUxt9IALNEynIK4jy_OfuLuJ5x_8aRUkc10KEI_9M4FwQWQkvnlzYJP0nLOfZtXzOxsCQ6b2nQ99vylnL7ImVR6AyHl_TesoLtH4RKDy3gE/s1600/Truman_KitsapVisit_1948_10_06_A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="538" data-original-width="1408" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAXbMFc_0_oYc9JfHPJnCN79qyeiPvP4I_dUxt9IALNEynIK4jy_OfuLuJ5x_8aRUkc10KEI_9M4FwQWQkvnlzYJP0nLOfZtXzOxsCQ6b2nQ99vylnL7ImVR6AyHl_TesoLtH4RKDy3gE/s640/Truman_KitsapVisit_1948_10_06_A.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqcFmjBJhqlIKzeB6TBvqhDpdCgFAhV0ezqyFMc4qilJuc8j7ApYhYtlh-JrftTWFSegIDF90c6R-Lm0WZlnK1lCJ3ZIaJfkQOi0miS0fimONhCiKzWSU7WPXEaDr2OATdOfIrm_1ZE4/s1600/Truman_Gorst_004a_WORKING.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="603" data-original-width="1049" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinqcFmjBJhqlIKzeB6TBvqhDpdCgFAhV0ezqyFMc4qilJuc8j7ApYhYtlh-JrftTWFSegIDF90c6R-Lm0WZlnK1lCJ3ZIaJfkQOi0miS0fimONhCiKzWSU7WPXEaDr2OATdOfIrm_1ZE4/s640/Truman_Gorst_004a_WORKING.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Truman appears to be having an animated conversation with Bremerton mayor, Hum Kean.</span></em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This ended up being correct. The house seen in the background is in the town of Gorst, just south of Bremerton where Highway 3 meets Highway 16. Not the first place that comes to mind for a presidential visit but the brickwork on the house's back porch is still clearly visible today, though it's just peeking through dense trees and bushes. Several shots in the series show Truman, Walgren and Hum Kean chatting and milling about while a few onlookers enjoy their brush with fame.

This has been brewing for a while. It took some time to sort out the logistics of doing this independently. The folks at Microsoft (who still owns Vince) and I hit on the idea of launching Vince through the <a href="mailto:ID@Xbox">ID@Xbox</a> program. The publishing entity is my old company, Beep Games. Production work started in earnest around May. It's coming along really well and we'll be out early next year!<br />

That first batch especially had a few mistakes. Sometimes the image alignments were a little off -- Sometimes a lot. <a href="http://geologywriter.com/" target="_blank">David B. Williams</a> was nice enough to point out that the 1914 photo of the McNaught house was actually situated on the southeast corner of 6th and Marion, not the northeast as shown in my original composite. So, here's a do-over with the house where it should be. If anything, the elevation difference looks even more dramatic now.

The dramatic growth of the city is remarkable when you compare wider shots that contrast a town of wood and brick with the glass, steel and cement of today. Of course the stage will be set for Seattle's next growth phase by Great Seattle Fire which cut a huge swath through many of the buildings to the left in 1889.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>Clayton Kauzlarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927179401748707980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762329947181200306.post-12806922342076615302016-03-09T09:55:00.000-08:002022-11-30T12:00:51.346-08:00Lighter Than Air<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1PIiWVest5T7Cl1dbBrqGNfbrtclUdP88nrkWnRh5lOT5m8pKzAfZwcH57vLf_EvcKDDcpYieOwji3XN9dvNqRwG7MN6imGrFvRyiVXw1-6SsAWKiYg_NKfEv1Rr5ZZpvG-RozTJaj5Y/s1600/1934_SeattleGreenLake_USSMaconAerial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1PIiWVest5T7Cl1dbBrqGNfbrtclUdP88nrkWnRh5lOT5m8pKzAfZwcH57vLf_EvcKDDcpYieOwji3XN9dvNqRwG7MN6imGrFvRyiVXw1-6SsAWKiYg_NKfEv1Rr5ZZpvG-RozTJaj5Y/s640/1934_SeattleGreenLake_USSMaconAerial.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here we see the majestic <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Macon_(ZRS-5)" target="_blank">USS Macon</a> gliding above Seattle's Green Lake on August 22, 1934. The airship was traveling to its new station near San Francisco but took a leisurely route with time for a number of photo ops along the way. The Macon was a marvel of engineering and was designed to be a "flying aircraft carrier" with five small fighter planes. But even before the Hindenburg disaster in 1937 airships didn't have an encouraging safety record. The Macon's sister ship, the USS Akron, crashed off the coast of New Jersey the previous year with a loss of nearly all hands. The Macon too would be gone in February of 1935 when it crashed into the Pacific off the California coast near Monterey. Unlike the Akron disaster, all but two of its 76 crew members survived. The Macon's wreckage wasn't discovered until 1991 and the site is now a designated marine sanctuary.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many of the residential houses from the era still stand today, though the area was clearly much more rural with some pastures and farms still evident. Both the baseball field and the Green Lake boathouse are present in the 1934 photo as well. The biggest change was certainly the addition of I-5 which eventually snaked through the fields in the central foreground.</div><br />Clayton Kauzlarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927179401748707980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762329947181200306.post-8979388238989144692015-08-17T12:28:00.000-07:002022-11-30T12:00:51.674-08:00An Arterial Materializes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij5lJSvwDHuarYpGbqEgYCcx6cvpwsKlDmS7_k-IbZkjT3lPJvouEpN_5vpAaWoFKIboA0e0cNVHVLEq8oykT9aAfnks7rMU8yL7KLMyrRlj6ZDzVyO1KoBV-ADp5qap0Ua-3zb7R5LJk/s1600/1962_Seattle_I5Construction.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij5lJSvwDHuarYpGbqEgYCcx6cvpwsKlDmS7_k-IbZkjT3lPJvouEpN_5vpAaWoFKIboA0e0cNVHVLEq8oykT9aAfnks7rMU8yL7KLMyrRlj6ZDzVyO1KoBV-ADp5qap0Ua-3zb7R5LJk/s640/1962_Seattle_I5Construction.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class=" _209g _2vxa" data-block="true" data-offset-key="e2r8l-0-0" data-reactid=".27.1.0.1.0.1.$10207748829622564.0.2.0.0.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$e2r8l"><span data-offset-key="e2r8l-0-0" data-reactid=".27.1.0.1.0.1.$10207748829622564.0.2.0.0.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$e2r8l.0:$e2r8l-0-0"><span data-reactid=".27.1.0.1.0.1.$10207748829622564.0.2.0.0.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$e2r8l.0:$e2r8l-0-0.0">Seattle commuters: Expect construction delays on I-5 before 1962.

As Seattle made the transition from a blue collar town to an epicenter of technology many of these institutions and the buildings that contained them have given way to a more gentrified (some would say clinical) appearance. Here we see present-day 1st Avenue near Virginia Street contrasted with a 1968 view. It's interesting to note that the offices for web-based real estate giant Redfin are in a crisp new high rise where Al & Leon once sold furniture across a rambling array of storefronts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>Clayton Kauzlarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927179401748707980noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762329947181200306.post-21911665775595995712015-05-14T12:52:00.001-07:002019-05-22T16:30:17.123-07:0024 Megs of Evermore<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I ran across this during a recent move. It's an EPROM we used during the final test phase of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_of_Evermore">Secret of Evermore</a> in late 1995. This would be a near-final beta of the game. No, it doesn't contain any secret, hidden unreleased stuff. We were too busy furiously trimming tiles from levels in our attempt to fit on the cartridge to leave in anything remotely like that.</div>

I'm tempted to boot it up for old time's sake, but I have my doubts about that battery. I should also review which direction the board faces when you plug it in: EPROMS can be plugged into a console from either direction (chips towards or away from the player). Finished retail cartridges prevented that but during production we had to be careful. Facing the wrong direction would wipe the whole works.</div>

I've been pretty quiet about my work at Microsoft lately. And for good reason. We kept this under wraps until the big announcement back in January. Once again, I've been fortunate enough to work on some amazing, future-y stuff.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3AADEqLIALk" width="379" youtube-src-id="3AADEqLIALk"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

This time combining an 1891 bird’s eye view of Seattle with a semi-polygonal version from present-day Google Earth. The 1891 image was rendered by lithographer E.S. Glover for the A.L. Bancroft company in California who specialized in text books and large aerial views of cities up and down the West Coast. These lithographs were somewhat idealized, both for clarity and aesthetic reasons – The perspective is fudg<span class="text_exposed_show">ed a lot to include both a street grid and the distant scenery. This makes lining up the horizon and landmarks a bit tricky but there is enough overlap using the waterfront and a few landmarks to get reasonably close. It's also possible to appreciate how successive decades of regrades removed a number of the rolling hills that once dominated the landscape of downtown Seattle.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="text_exposed_show"></span> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="text_exposed_show"></span> </div>Clayton Kauzlarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927179401748707980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762329947181200306.post-35365200721096489462015-01-24T18:55:00.000-08:002022-11-30T12:00:52.657-08:00Camp Harmony<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbuZ05mMlSRsZTW4WxQQa1xSotw-CeL-7FhyphenhyphenhMEIkT8Idhl8HCnrsdkMxKOqV5Xj9TZXN3RqFdeN-oP8GPiXUaCFdXnnFqRn71LUBBz8hBdh5CJ2PX_0A8ffWbTqE1KRNbhs1bXtQNQkg/s1600/CampHarmony_AerialComposite.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbuZ05mMlSRsZTW4WxQQa1xSotw-CeL-7FhyphenhyphenhMEIkT8Idhl8HCnrsdkMxKOqV5Xj9TZXN3RqFdeN-oP8GPiXUaCFdXnnFqRn71LUBBz8hBdh5CJ2PX_0A8ffWbTqE1KRNbhs1bXtQNQkg/s1600/CampHarmony_AerialComposite.jpg" height="354" width="640" /></a></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_54c45a4a8902f3c35075070" style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="text-align: justify;">This is a follow-up to the previous image of Japanese Americans boarding trains on the Seattle waterfront in 1942. I thought it would be interesting to mash up two aerial images this time. The results aren't perfect, but it gives a good sense of scale. 7390 residents lived in these hastily constructed barracks at the Puyallup Fairgrounds called Camp Harmony from May to September of 1942. The secti<span class="text_exposed_show">ons of the camp had simple letter designations. Area A is the block in the upper left of the photo. Area B is to the upper right near the present-day freeway. Area C is in the lower left. Area D was the most surreal of all, being situated in the middle of the race track and surrounded by grandstands, attractions and the roller coaster track. Most residents of Camp Harmony were transferred to the more permanent Minidoka and Tule Lake internment camps.</span></div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed"><span class="text_exposed_show"></span> </div><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed"><span class="text_exposed_show"></span> </div>Clayton Kauzlarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927179401748707980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762329947181200306.post-86576698543953904042014-12-27T17:31:00.000-08:002022-11-30T12:00:52.986-08:002 Million Bricks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-kc6hc-RCZzk1cfuwxag1c9k0JQTmbieKQ6NMQc4Uk2tEzGL08nsneqxCIwktElYfKb8qmHE_cX26cbqYiEmG9lhp1e668VA7e23pp-BP-GvlP_XFcu2pOK4r1Dy4dEvra_4_YxzSQjc/s1600/CentralSchool_7th&Madison2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-kc6hc-RCZzk1cfuwxag1c9k0JQTmbieKQ6NMQc4Uk2tEzGL08nsneqxCIwktElYfKb8qmHE_cX26cbqYiEmG9lhp1e668VA7e23pp-BP-GvlP_XFcu2pOK4r1Dy4dEvra_4_YxzSQjc/s1600/CentralSchool_7th&Madison2.jpg" height="346" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This site at 7th and Madison housed four different school buildings over a 75 year period, concluding with this impressive edifice. Seattle's Central School was opened in 1889 and was almost immediately overcrowded, forcing the district to rent annex space from a number of nearby churches. As the 20th century unfolded the school had the opposite problem as downtown residences were replaced with office buildings. After surviving social and economic shifts and several earthquakes, the school was demolished in 1953. The lot was leased for parking until the site gave way to the construction of Interstate 5 in the early 1960s.<br /><br /> </div>Clayton Kauzlarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927179401748707980noreply@blogger.com0
