Cars being unloaded from train at King Street Station, Seattle, circa 1915

Order an Image
Seattle's King Street Station was built between 1904 and 1906 for the Great Northern Railroad. The St. Paul, Minnesota, architectural firm of Reed & Stem designed the station, patterning its tall clock tower after a famous bell tower in Venice, Italy. This mimicry of European architecture added a touch of tradition and heritage to Seattle's growing downtown area. Here, cars are being unloaded from a train that arrived at the station.
