Cornerspotter: What Central District Intersection Is This?

New, 4 comments

Cornerspotter is a new Curbed Seattle feature in which we show you a historical photo taken somewhere in the city and you identify the location. Impress fellow Curbed readers with your knowledge by leaving guesses in the comments or send them to our tipline: seattle@curbed.com. We'll post the answer on Monday. And hey: no cheating!

Here's a Central District intersection as it looked in 1918. That house is gone, sadly, though today there are still residences in its place, not to mention a place where all those residents can but their groceries. Across the street, those two apartment buildings still stand. Back then, they were called The Alta Vista. Today, they go by a different name. So, what intersection are we looking at?
