Issaquah Historical Society photo 72.21.14.191A Front Street Looking North - circa 1913
This early 1913 photo leads one to ask: Would the pedestrian standing in the
middle of Front Street be willing to stand there today? The picture, taken
looking north from a point that's north of Mill Street (now Sunset Way), shows
the striped barber pole (next to the utility pole) in front of William Garner's
Tonsorial Artist Shop. Baths are available there. The sign on the side of the
building next to the barber pole is C. R. Berry advertising his real estate office, which was there until July 1913, when he
moved to the Issaquah Bank building. Note the wavy wooden sidewalks on both
sides of the street.
