King Street Station waiting room and ticket counter, Seattle, circa 1906

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.

This photo shows the waiting room and ticket counter in the early 1900s.
