Split cedar shingle and pieces of bark from the Denny House on Alki, 1851
In 1851, Arthur Denny, at the age of 29, led a contingent of his family west from Illinois to the Pacific Northwest, where he helped found the city of Seattle. This shingle, donated by a descendent of those early settlers, was a part of the original cabin built by the Dennys when they first arrived on what was later called Alki.
