Content DescriptionReturn to Top
Tape recorded interview conducted by Meta Kaplan and Karyl Winn in 1974. Accession also includes a transcript, a medal, and a microfilm of a scrapbook (1901-1910).
Broderick gives background on Jewish families and individuals his firm has represented. He describes the financial aid given by Jacob Furth, pioneer Seattle banker to Alfred Shemanski and later a Seattle Jewish philanthropist. He mentions the Concordia Club, a primarily Jewish social club where Jacob Furth and others played poker. He acknowledges discrimination against Jews in the early part of the century, in particular that they sometimes had difficulty getting loans and that some landlords would not accept them as tenants. His protest of an instance of this latter form of discrimination brought him a lot of business from Jews.
The scrapbook contains newspaper clippings detailing Brodericks's real estate deals.
