In approximately 1917, the Seattle Hardware Company operated a warehouse on the Elliott Bay waterfront.

Building Notes

The Seattle Hardware Company Warehouse #1 was located strategically on the Seattle Waterfront, enabling it to store cargo from ships and rail. As shown in the photo illustrated, a rail spur could enable off-loading of supplies inside the warehouse.

Information on the Seattle Hardware Company can be found in the Photographs of the Seattle Hardware Company, a collection held in the University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections Division, Collection #PH0698.
