A propos de cet article

4to. [2], 58 leaves, carbon copy typescript, some leaves bearing faint typewriter impressions in blind, w/ 5 additional typescript carbon copy leaves laid-in, some on onion skin paper, partial tears, edgewear to right fore-edges of a couple leaves. With 8 large folding (7 hand-coloured) blueprint maps, including 1 large "Key Map" sized at an impressive 86 x 14 in. (some minor closed tear paper repairs on verso, toning to a couple folds), and 7 numbered blueprint maps sized from 15 x 11 in. up to 48 x 11 in., all hand-coloured w/ additional annotations. Original hand-lettered gray-green split-pin binder, w/ only front cover present (edgewear, scuffing, minor tears, couple discrete paper repairs on verso), still a good original exemplar, bearing original signatures of the Union Pacific System executives in Washington & Oregon. This extraordinary original Union Pacific System typescript manuscript industrial survey report of Oregon & Washington Railroad Co., and Oregon-Washington Railway & Navigation Co. rail lines and industrial properties offers an historic visual and textual examination of property development around Elliott Bay into South Seattle, and the Duwamish River during the Roaring 20's. The Union Pacific had purchased a majority share of the original Oregon Railway & Navigation Co. in 1898 in order to gain a gateway into the booming Pacific Northwest market driven largely by the Klondike Gold Rush. In 1910 the company had established OR&N as a subsidiary renamed the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co., and by the 1920's when this report was prepared they were working to improve their infrastructure, streamline operations, and enhance their freight capabilities on track lines often shared with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads. After surviving the post-World War I recession, the opening of the Pacific Highway and bleeding of freight traffic to overland roadways began cutting into Union Pacific, and the other railroads profit margins. This in-house report was intended to demarcate with the large folding hand-coloured blueprint maps of the vast railyards along the Seattle waterfront by classifying either as "Industrial" properties which were sites served by Union Pacific System Rail Lines, and/or where UP railcars had access on parity with other lines, as opposed to "Non-Industrial" tracts which were unreachable by the UP service, due to topography, location, surrounding districts, or other industrial identity issues. More importantly, the report carefully outlines the entire survey of properties in Seattle, their relative values at the time, specific industries, and businesses operating in, or around the sites, as well as proposals to further develop them. The immense "Key Map" stretches over 7 feet long when unfolded, revealing the assorted industrial sites demarcated in the report, along the Salmon Bay, Salmon River, Elliott Bay, and down into the Duwamish of South Seattle along Elliott Bay. This cataloguer was unable to find a similar map in any holdings.Map 1 focuses on an abandoned right of way on Salmon Bay owned by O&W RR Co., & O-W RR&N Co., recommending they retain in the UP system; Map 2 focuses on Gilman's Addition, and other properties consisting of swamp lands in and around the companion Northern Pacific Line; Map 3 includes Denny's Addition blocks, and Seattle Tide Lands, with recommendations to either hold for possible UP offices, or sell off to the NP or Great Northern, and Map No. 5 show's Ladd's First Addition, and vacated blocks in Seattle well-situated for small manufacturing. Map No. 4 is another quite large one stretching over four feet long indicating plots near Maynard's addition, those in the extension of Prefontaine Place, and below grade near the Jackson Street Viaduct. Also parts of Lots 17, 18, & 19, Block 329 in the Seattle tide lands include parts of the Seattle Freight Station, and recommended the site for future freight and trackage facilities for expansion.
