Overview

In the early 1880s, three three-story hotels stood opposite each other on Commercial Street (later renamed 1st Avenue South) and Main Street, the Arlington Hotel #1 on the southeast corner, the Hotel Brunswick, near the northeast corner, and the New England Hotel on the northwest corner. A smaller establishment, the San Francisco Hotel, stood on the southwest corner. Each had a plain exterior and wood-frame construction. These were two of at least 12 hotels in the Pioneer Square area catering to middle and working-class people that burned in the Seattle Fire of 06/06/1889.

Building History

In 1884, Julius W. Smith and Converse P. Farrar operated the Arlington Hotel. (See Seattle, Washington, City Directory, 1884, p. 65.)

Building Notes

This was the Arlington Hotel's location on the waterfront of Seattle, WA, in 1882. It was situated near to the Jackson Street Wharf, Bow's Livery Stable, City Hall and a Gothic Revival Catholic Church. The building was multi-story, constructed of a wood-frame, and had a false front.
