View of miniature railway at Madison Park, Seattle, circa 1910

Order an Image
An amusement park known as White City operated in Madison Park between 1910 and 1912. One of its attractions was a miniature train called the Lake Shore Railway, enjoyed by children and adults alike.

The brothers Clarence and Otto Langstaff were prolific amateur photographers in Seattle. Clarence worked as a carpenter and also spent time at Mt. Rainier as a guide. Otto worked for W.P. Fuller Company as a glazier and was a member of United Glass Union #188. Because most of their photos are not signed, it is often difficult to discern which brother was behind the camera.
