Three Hotels – of note – following the Great Fire of 1889, here in 1890. First on top of Denny Hill the Denny Hotel (later renamed the Washington) is under construction. Next, at the center of this detail from a pan taken from the King Street coal wharf stands the undecorated south and west facades of the Arlington Hotel, and its tower at the northeast corner of the building but at the southwest corner of First Ave. and University Street rises from it. The tower was later removed. Next, the Ripley Hotel under late construction at the far left. Also note the dark coal wharf at the foot of Madison Street. Its place is now part of Ivar’s Pier 54 which for another 200-plus days will be remodeling as they rebuild the seawall at its front door.
