Street clock in front of Albert Hansen jeweler, Seattle, circa 1910
Order an ImageAlbert Hansen was one of Seattle's first jewelers, beginning in 1883 and continuing in various locations for thirty years. This photo shows the street clock in front of Hansen's store at 624 First Avenue, on the southeast corner of Cherry and First Avenue. Street clocks such as this one were manufactured by Joseph Mayer and Brothers and often stood in front of jewelers or watchmakers. The clocks sometimes moved with the business when it relocated. This clock later appears at Albert Hansen's location at 1010 Second Avenue.
