Another look down from the roof or upper floor of the Occidental Hotel, this was southwest toward “Ballast Island,” the dumped dirt from ships visiting the King St. Coal Wharf in the late 1870s and early 1880s, and the City and Ocean Docks that were built over the “island” of imported land. The Langston stable is on Washington Street mid-block between Commercial Street (First Ave.S. and the docks).
