Posted by admin in 26 Oct, 2009
Kolstrand Building, 4743 Ballard Ave. NW:
4760 Ballard Ave. NW:
Scandinavian-American Bank, built in 1902 (now the Starlight Hotel); Ballard Ave. NW & NW Vernon Pl.:
Kutzner Block, built in 1904; Ballard Ave. NW & NW Vernon Pl.:
This charred door is about all that’s left of the Ernst Brothers Hardware building, which used to sit between the Scandinavian-American Bank and the Kutzner Block:
Built in 1904, the Ernst Bros. building was destroyed by arson in the 1950s.
The Ballard Historical Society has provided plaques for the Scandinavian-American Bank, Ernst Bros., and Kutzner Block buildings, among others in the area.
The Ballard Avenue Landmark District Board also has more information about our beautiful neighborhood.
