"A pretty groupe of houses / Erected by the Fehren-Marvin Co., showing the excellent character of the new homes they have built," from the brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). "Groupe" is presumably just a typo, as the booklet does not generally go in for precious spellings. There is no explicit indication of the location of these houses, although examining the backgrounds of the photos suggests that they were indeed a "group". Text on the following page of the same brochure strongly suggests (but does not say explicitly) that they are in "the Broadway district," which is to say Capitol Hill.
