Scope and content
Close-up of vacant lot at the northwest corner of No. 4th & "D" with view of Commencement Bay on June 11, 1969. Robert Billsbrough Price, an award winning local architect, had requested aerial (see D156236, image 5) and closer views of this area of fine homes. Small plants, shrubs and trees cover the lot along with tuffs of grass. This lot is listed as 402-08 No. "D." 402 No. "D" had originally been the home of Ezra Poppleton in 1891; the home was subsequently demolished. The Washington State Historical Society building can be glimpsed behind trees.
