North Yakima Expansion Marks City Growth in 1899
A retrospective resume shows Yakima’s 1899 building boom near completion with over a hundred structures raised. The Northern Pacific depot project dominates, featuring a 120 by 40 foot main depot, clock tower, two elevated parks, and a 700 foot concrete walk. Larson's Theater and numerous residences and business blocks reflect vigorous civic spirit and substantial architectural activity led by W. W. Felton and J. S. Pearson among others.
