View north up Nagle Place from E. Pine St. on Capitol Hill, Seattle, circa 1954
Order an ImageThis street view looking north from E. Pine St. along Nagle Place includes the loading dock of the Broadway Station Post Office, just past the Pontiac service entrance and to the left of the 1949 Ford sedan and the Carnation Ice Cream truck parked on the west side of the street.
In the mid-1950s, photographer Al Smith began working as a mail carrier at The Post Office and stayed for 25 years. He was proud of his work there and appreciated the post office job for its security, fair wages, and relative lack of discrimination. The job afforded him both a middle-class lifestyle and an opportunity to pursue his avocation of photography.
