Jar of Original Hill's Bro BBQ Sauce, 2024

Run by brothers Robert and Zebedee Hill, Hill's Brother's BBQ Pit opened in 1952 in a small wooden building on 21st Avenue between East Cherry and East Jefferson streets in Seattle's Central Area. The barbecue stand served sweet potato pie, spicy sauce on smoked ribs, and white bread and butter through the 1990s. MOHAI also has in the collection photos taken by renowned photographer Al Smith of the barbecue stand in 1953, including one of the brothers, Robert and Zebedee. The gourmet BBQ sauce was finally bottled and sold, much to the delight of avid customers.
