First Avenue and Pioneer Square, Seattle, Washington, USA, 1916. Vintage postcard. Multi-storey buildings line the avenue and pedestrians fill the sidewalks. The iron pergola is visible on the lower left with the Tlingit Totem Pole behind it.

The Pioneer Square totem pole, also referred to as the Seattle totem pole and historically as the Chief-of-All-Women pole, is a Tlingit totem pole located in Pioneer Square in downtown Seattle, Washington. The totem pole was originally carved in 1790 and raised in the Tlingit village on Tongass Island to honor the Tlingit woman Chief-of-All-Women. The totem pole was later stolen by Seattle businessmen on an expedition to Alaska and subsequently gifted to the City of Seattle in 1899, where it was raised in Pioneer Square and became a source of civic pride for the city. The totem pole was later damaged by arson and a replica was commissioned and installed in its place in 1940, which is now designated a National Historic Landmark.

Link to a photo of the totem pole - Cannot be later that 1909, because the Pioneer Square Pergola is not yet in place. Located at the intersection of James St., Yesler Way and 1st. Ave. - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Pioneer...
