Mail Tribune 100: May 31, 1916 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 31, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted May. 31, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News May 31, 1916 MODERN BAKERY TO REPLACE OLD SALOON ROW Initial steps in the regeneration of Front street have been taken with the purchase by R. Nurmi of the Nurmi bakery of the Seattle rooming house structure on South Front street, in which he will install a $1,000 baking plant and machinery. The structure will be remodeled and repainted and a new front installed. The contract for this work has been let to Contractor Lines, who has begun the work of tearing down the rear. It is the intention of Mr. Nurmi to install a modern bread-making plant, with all the machinery in full view, and expects to be in full operation within two months. The second story will also undergo repairs and remodeling. The new enterprise will add new tone to a portion of the business district of the city, sarcastically known in the past as "Whiskey Row." According to Commercial club reports, a move is under way for the tearing down and removal of the unsightly shacks at the end of the block, for the building of more sightly buildings. Work upon the oven to be used by the bakery will begin next week.
