Biographical Note
The Seattle Tent & Awning Co. was a tent, awning, and fabric company founded in Seattle, WA in 1896. During the time when these photos were produced, Seattle Tent & Awning was located at 310 Westlake Avenue North in Seattle. The company produced awnings and tents for both commercial and residential use. Their product, the Air: Seal Airhouse was used to enclose a number of spaces, from swimming pools to airplanes. Airhouses used fans to keep inflated while maintaining a comfortable temperature inside and making the heating of pools easy.
