[edit] Summary

Description

Page 136 of brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). This page consists of text plus a photo captioned "A view on University Heights from Fremont Avenue. / These magnificent residences were constructed by the Moore Investment Co. for owners."

This "Fremont Avenue" has nothing to do with the present-day Fremont Avenue (which is about a mile and a half to the west). Image:Baist Seattle 1905 plate 18 - B - raw.jpg shows that what is now 15th Avenue NE was then Tremont Avenue, so presumably this is a typo for that name.

Moore Investment Co. was J.A. Moore, best known today for the Moore Theatre and Hotel.

I don't know whether any of these particular houses survive; if they do, that could pin down the location.
