I...OCD person that I am, I kept digging last night. I believe you said in an earlier post that Betty Schnabel's mother was Louise Bigelow Schnabel. Louise was the daughter of David E. Bigelow, who was the son of Isaac and Emeline Bigelow. So the house belonged to Betty's great grandparents and her great aunt Clara.<br /><br />I couldn't fint any photos of Isaac and Emeline but did find one newspaper account that included a photo of Clara when she was older, in 1950. She never married and lived on that block the rest of her life.<br /><br />http://wsh.stparchive.com/Archive/WSH/WSH06221950P01.php<br /><br />Sorry...

Isaac was listed as a banker and a dozen or so people roomed at the address. They had lived there for some time as they are listed there in the 1891 city directory and in the same general block in 1885, when Isaac is listed as a carpenter.<br /><br />Also, he is profiled in a book of memoirs of pioneer of Seattle: "Isaac N. Bigelow, one of the builders of the city of Seattle, is a native of King county, Nova Scotia, born on the 15th of May, 1838... Came to Seattle in 1875.... He has erected many residences on his property and also built the Bigelow block on Pike Street and another large building on Second avenue and Union Streets. He married Emeline Davidson, of the same place and with whom he attended school. At the time it was written (not sure yet when), his son David was a mineral expert and assayer in Cedoras Isl. Mexico and E. Victor was a congregational ministor in Lowell, MA. Clara lived at home with her parents.<br /><br />They had two other children, David Edward born about 1864 and Edwin Victor born about 1866.NatalieKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-46617498623111398012014-05-14T17:36:21.586-11:002014-05-14T17:36:21.586-11:00Thank you!

All the neighborhood sounds are different there now. Knowing who lived next-door is probably also a quaint memory.<br /><br />If you want to see a place that's been pulverized of its past just visit Los Angeles. Just the years I lived there saw so many places torn down and replaced with ugliness like strip malls. But then, it's a town of dreamers who each have their own vision so they just tear down what was there before and put up their dream…until the next dreamer comes along and tears that down.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-59781751613468122832014-05-14T17:09:53.073-11:002014-05-14T17:09:53.073-11:00A stylish house with very interesting details.

Bigelow, a builder and contractor, and later the president of Bigelow Investment Co. He lived there with his wife, Emmeline and daughter Clara. All born in Canada, Isaac in 1838, Emmeline in 1848, and Clara in 1870.

One of the trams on the route along the pier area was an old E-Class green tram from my hometown of Melbourne. Also in Melbourne is the problem of the decimation of old picturesque areas by developers. A lot of wonderful and historic architecture has gone with more scheduled to disappear in the future. I hate that type of "progress". Interestingly I thought this photo abit dull when I first caught a glance.
