A detail pulled from the panorama below it by G. Moore in the early 1870s. Here the Territorial University stands top-center on Denny’s Knoll with a still forested First Hill horizon behind it. The clear-cutting was on its way. The John and Sarah Denny Home is at the southeast corner of Third Ave. and Union Street, direclty below the school on its knoll. A portion of the coal railroad’s narrow gauge track runs along Pike Street just beyond the undeveloped lots above the fence at the bottom.
