To the Hon Mayor and City Council
of the City of Seattle

Your petitioners respectfully represent
that they are the owners of that
certain small wooden building situated on
property belonging to the City of Seattle at
the corner of Yesler Ave. + 3rd Street

Said buiding is occupied by your
petitioners as a Real Estate and Brokerage
Office. The said City of Seattle through its
proper officers has notified your petitioners
to remove the building off from its grounds
without delay. Your petitioners have rented
ground in the block of land on the west
side of 3rd Street between Yesler Avenue and
Jefferson Street known as the Yesler
Triangle. Said ground so rented is within
the fire limits but isolated and so far
removed from other buildings that a wooden
structure treated thereon will not in any
manner increase the insurance rates or fire
hazzard of any other building

Wherefore your petitionsers pray that a
special permit be granted them to remove
their said building from its presenst location
on Lot 4 Blk 38 [Borens?] Add. to the
Yesler triangle facing 3rd Street+ Yesler streets
Aug 3. 1891
