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.

Stimson Mill Company In 1889, C.D. Stimson founded his eponymous milling company to
profit from Seattle's reconstruction process in the wake of the Great Fire.
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.

1/11 | SE18 | 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".

was regraded at least five separate times, each reducing parts of Denny Hill
and its surroundings, and adding to the nascent Harbor Island, comprised of
infill. Upon the last regrade, Denny Hill was nearly flat and was then known as
the "Denny Triangle".

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.

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. (pg. 29 and pg. 309) Notes from Gordon Newell, ed., The H.W. McCurdy

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.
