Description
English:

Charles D. Stimson (1857-1929) moved to Seattle in 1889 and by 1909, may have been Seattle's most influential person, as he headed the Metropolitan Bank, the General Insurance Company of America, the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition effort, and the Metropolitan Building Company. His wife, Harriet Mary Overton (1862-1936), was a dedicated supporter of the Seattle Symphony. Their daughter Dorothy Stimson Bullitt (1892-1989) created broadcasting empire King Broadcasting Company after the death of her husband, Alexander Scott Bullitt (1877-1932). All three of their children, Charles Stimson "Stim" Bullitt (1919-2009), Dorothy Priscilla "Patsy" Bullitt Collins (1920-2003) and Harriet Overton Bullitt (1924-) have donated substantial amounts of money and time to the Bullitt Foundation, whose mission is to protect the natural environment of the Pacific Northwest. Pictured here is the construction site of the Stimson Building, located at 1304 Fourth Avenue between University and Seneca Streets in the Metropolitan Tract, a large parcel set in downtown Seattle occupied by the University of Washington until 1895. The Stimson Building was one of a group of buildings designed by architects Howells and Albertson for the Metropolitan Building Company and built specifically to house medical and dental offices. Unico Properties demolished the Stimson Block in 1972. The construction of the Olympic Hotel can be seen in the upper left corner of the frame.
