Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Ira J. Webster (1871—1942) and Nelson Stevens (1874—1938) were pioneering photojournalists based in Seattle. Four years after moving from Michigan in 1899, they found quick success as photographers, and opened their own studio. Living up to their motto—"We Take Anything. Anytime. Anywhere."— their omnipresence in print publications in the Puget Sound amounted to more than 60,000 black-and-white photographs of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest over the course of their career. Webster & Stevens trailblazed the use of photography in commercial advertising, journalism, and industry throughout the Pacific Northwest, and provided photographic services to many significant Pacific Northwest businesses, most notably the Seattle Times between 1906 and 1943.

Puget Mill Company
In 1853, William Talbot established the Puget Mill Company in Port Gamble (Teekalet until 1868). Talbot's crew, comprised mostly of workers from his hometown of East Machias, Maine, constructed the mill and its company town on the Port's sand spit. The mill, despite briefly changing hands during the Great Depression, operated continuously for 142 years (1853-1995). The main mill was in Port Gamble, with additional business done out of Port Ludlow, Washington.

Centered in the then-city of Ballard, it grew to produce high volumes of shingles and specialized lumber products, becoming a key figure of Ballard's industries. The Company operated for 69 years (1889-1958) before closing its operations in favor of more diversified industries.

Portable buildings in Pioneer Square after Great Seattle Fire (W&S 25x)
In June 1889, a fire at Front St (First Ave) and Madison Ave quickly spread over twenty-five city blocks, burning every wharf, building, and mill from Union Sreet to Jackson Street. Thousands of people were displaced, 120 acres of land burnt, and approximately five-thousand people lost their jobs; close to twelve percent of the city. The city estimated its losses at over $8 million, which did not include personal losses or utilities damage, which may have brought the actual cost close to $20 million (appx. $650 million today).
Reconstruction from the so-called "Great Seattle Fire" was swift due to corporate sponsorship, municipal partnerships (namely Tacoma), and goverment relief programs. The city largely recouped its losses the year after, adding over five-hundred new buildings and numerous new development areas. In October 1889, the Seattle Fire Department was professionalized. Concurrently, the water utility was municipalized, modernized, and expanded.

Pioneer Square with Chief-of-All-Women kootéeyaa (W&S 15695)
Located at intersection of 1st Ave, James St, and Yesler Way.
This hemlock kootéeyaa (totem pole) was carved to honor Chief-of-All-Women, a Tlingit woman of the Kinninook family, a clan of the ̱̱g͏̱aanax.ádi (Raven moiety). Her family had solicited a carver to create a pole they felt represented Chief-of-All-Women, and raised it at a potlach in her honor. From 1790 the pole stood at Taant͏̛a (in Tongass Island) until members from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce with accessory from crew on the City of Seattle cut the totem down in August 1899 while most of the community was out fishing. It was taken to Seattle, incorrectly refitted and repainted, and "gifted" to the city, where it became a landmark at Pioneer Square. The Kinninook clan filed a petition to the Alaskan government for return of the pole and compensation for damages, and a grand jury was struck to indict eight Chambersmen for theft. However, the suit was dismissed after behind-closed-doors deals were reached with the US District Judge, the Seattle city government, and members of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the sponsors of the expedition wherein the theft occurred. The pole remained despite protests and further petition by the Kinninook clan. By 1917, advertising for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition intentionally removed the Kinninook clan from the narrative and popularized calling the kootéeyaa "the Seattle totem pole". By 1938, the pole suffered from dry rot and arson and the Seattle City Council and Park Board ordered the pole be taken down and recreated. The United States Forest Service offered to coordinate efforts to recreate the pole in collaboration with the Civilian Conservation Corps, who hired Tlingit carver Charles Brown and his team in Saxman, Alaska (which included descendants of Chief-of-all-Women) to carve a copy from red cedar. The copy was installed on July 14, 1940, where it continues to stand unchanged, except for conservation work by John C. Hudson, Jr. (Tsimshian) in 1972.

Seattle's Totem Poles (Garfield, 1996). Tlingit Dictionary (Twitchwell, 2017).

From top to bottom, the figures depicted in the totem are: Raven; the frog princess with her child; the frog princess' husband; Mink; Raven alongside Whale, with a seal in his mouth; and Raven-at-the-Head-of-Nass (Grandfather of Raven). Collectively they represent some stories from the The Raven Cycles (Yéil Ḵutláakw), and some stories from the "Frog Princess".

Western Airlines DC-4 on landing strip, Seattle-Tacoma Airport (W&S 483233)
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States military assumed control of many West Coast airports going into World War Two; both Boeing Field in South Seattle and McChord Field in Tacoma all but ceased civilian carriage. In 1942, the Civil Aeronautics Authority (the predecessor to the Federal Aviation Administration), formally sought a Puget Sound municipality to create a new airport for the area, which The Port of Seattle accepted. The Seattle-Tacoma Airport ("SeaTac") opened to full civilian operations on July 9, 1949 upon the completion of its first terminal. However, military and limited civilian use existed at the airport as early as October 1944.
Western Airlines, one of the major North American airlines until the latter half of the 20th century, began serving SeaTac in 1948. DC-4 planes were commonly used throughout World War Two, and refitted to serve civilian operations. The characteristic "Arrowliner" livery featured on this plane was common throughout the airline until the late 1950's.

Built in 1882 as a passenger liner from Caracas to New York City, in 1897 its service was reassigned to the West Coast following a brief attack near Cuba by Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes . While transporting passengers nearly a decade later off Cape Beale, part of the area known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific", the Valencia ran aground and sank. Considered one of the worst maritime disasters in the Graveyard, more than one-hundred people perished, including every woman and child on the boat.

Sternwheeler Susie (W&S 2488)
The Susie was built in 1898 by the Howard shipyard at Jeffersonville, Indiana, using molds from the Ohio River boats Bluff City and Dolphin No. 3. Along with her sister ships Sarah and Hannah, she was shipped in sections to Unalaska, where she was assembled by the Alaska Commercial Co. and proceeded from there to St Michael and the Yukon under her own power. They were spectacular boats in the grand tradition of the Western river packets, particularly at night when they made their fast passages up and down the desolate Yukon with decks and cabins ablaze with lights. Their niceties included spacious mahogany paneled dining salons and two and three-berth staterooms to accommodate 150 first-class passengers. She was out of service by 1920.

Campus Day was a large-scale, volunteer labor project put on near the first Friday of every May, focused on the "[beautification] of the campus." Beginning in 1904, these projects focused on infrastructure, construction, and other campus-wide events. In accordance with gender roles of the time, the female faculty and students were made to prepare the Campus Day meal while digging, planting, and other "physical" tasks were given to male faculty and students.

Stolen Alaska Native belongings in attic (W&S 2929)
In 1899, railroad monopolist EH Harriman chartered an expedition to Alaska for "sightseeing," "naturalism," and "hunting." The Herriman Expedition brought nearly fifty naturalists, artists, and crew (including John Muir and Edward Curtis) up the Pacific Northwest and Alaskan coasts for two months in the steamer SS George W Elder. During that time, his crew and guests hunted local flora and fauna then-unknown to Western science, and stole tangible and intangible heritage from many Tlingit communities.
In July of 1899, the SS George W Elder landed at the Tlingit village of Gaash, near Saanya Ḵwaan (Cape Fox), home to the Kaats’ Hít (Kaats’ House) of the Teiḵweidí (People of the Wolf/Eagle clans in and near Cape Fox). Members of the Expedition stole at.óow (treasured belongings) and used photographic and written documentation (largely by Edward Curtis), to support the theft. Following in Herriman's belief that these stolen artifacts ought to be "[distributed]... for the benefit of others," many of these stolen at.óow were then given to promiment members of the settler-colonial scientific community. Edmond Meany, early 20th century professor at the University of Washington whose attic is pictured above, probably received these stolen at.óow from the Expedition directly. Edmond Meany's collection formed part of the original set of belongings entered into the Washington State Museum, which would eventually become the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.
The √gaasʼ (housepost) in the center of the photo is one of four stolen from the Teiḵweidí Kaats’ Hít in Cape Fox, and one of two which were "reunited at the Burke Museum." These posts depict the story of Kaats’, the husband of a bear whose cubs killed him for betraying her, seen also on the Teiḵweidí crest as a grizzly bear. On July 23, 2001, after more than a decade in the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation (NAGPRA) claims process, the Kaats’ Hít √gaasʼ was returned to Saanya Ḵwaan. In August 2005, a recreation of the housepost, along with a complement piece, was carved by Nathan and Stephen Jackson, and propatriated to the Burke Museum in kind.

The Washington Elm was a tree in Cambridge, MA since before the Revolutionary War, made famous for being in the proximity of a speech given by George Washington. When it died in the 1923, many clippings of the tree were sent around the country to be propagated in its honor. Many trees since have claimed to be descendent from the Washington Elm, and are often marked with accompanying plaques. The authenticity of this so-called Washington Elm cannot be verified.
