Here are some historic photos I tried re-taking in 2008. I found the originals in the Seattle Municipal Archives .

Looking west along E John St from 15th Ave E looked pretty sleepy in 1934. An apartment building by Frederick Anhalt (Anhalt Arms ) is visible on the left in both photographs:

The busy 3-way intersection of 14th Ave E, Pike St, and Madison in 1944 — and in 2008:

These are taken from aerial photographs of the 300-600 blocks of 15th Ave E taken in 1936 and 2007.
