Jacob Henry Schiff Born January 10, 1847
JACOB HENRY SCHIFF BORN JANUARY 10, 1847. DIED SEPTEMBER 25, 1920 The American Jewish Year Book 5682 October 3, 1921, to September 22, 1922 Volume 23 Edited bv HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN for the AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE PHILADELPHIA THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1921 Uewish C. P< EIS4- At COPYRIGHT, 1921, BY THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA NEWYORKUNIVERSITY WASHi^TON SQUARE LIBRARY CT CL tT w 1 RT PEEFACE The past year has witnessed no marked change in the life of the Jewish people. There has merely been a development according to tendencies resulting" from pre-war conditions and the events of the past seven years. In the chronology for 5681, although we have again reports of numerous acts of humiliation and violence committed against our brethren in Eastern Europe and Hungary, yet many hopeful signs of returning order, sanity and humanity are already visible, and there are indications that with the return of normal economic con- ditions and political stability the situation of the Jews in this region will greatly improve. In the meantime, the Jewry of the United States has become the new center of gravity of the Jewish people. If we may disregard several misguided, though dangerous, movements to transplant anti-Semitism on Ameri- can soil—movements which have met with failure thanks to the courage and clear vision of leaders of thought and opinion, and the spirit of justice and fairness which characterizes the American people—we may say that the Jews of the United States have been most favored of Providence in being spared all of the many evils and sorrows visited upon the Jews of Eastern Europe. -

All rights reserved. 441 1 Descriptive Summary Title: Harriet Rochlin Collection of Photographs of Western Jewish Life Date (inclusive): ca. 1845-1991 Collection number: 441 Creator: Rochlin, Harriet 1924- Extent: 2248 photographs and 1623 photocopies in Fourteen boxes. (7 linear feet) Four oversize boxes. Abstract: Harriet Rochlin began collecting Western Jewish photographs in the late 1960s to illustrate articles she was writing on Jewish pioneering in the American West. The collection grew significantly when she and her late husband, Fred Rochlin, contracted with Houghton Mifflin to compose an illustrated social history, Pioneer Jews: A New Life in the Far West. The book spans Jewish life in the Spanish, Mexican, and American Far West from 1571 to 1912. The majority of the photographs (2248) and photocopied images (1623) track the Jewish Westward Migration from secret Sephardic Jews in flight from the Mexican Colonial Inquisition, to tens of thousands of openly Jewish families rooted throughout the Far West by 1912, the end of the territorial period. She has continued to collect images for articles, essays, slide narratives, and for a work-in-progress, A Mixed Chorus: Jewish Women in the American West, 1849 to 1924. -

REPORT ON DESIGNATION LPB 635/15 Name and Address of Property: Gaslight Inn / Singerman House – 1727 15th Avenue Legal Description: Plat Lot 8, Block 25, Compton’s 1st Addition, according to the plat thereof, recorded in Volume 3 of Plats, page 11 in King County, Washington. At the public meeting held on October 7, 2015 the City of Seattle's Landmarks Preservation Board voted to approve designation of the Gaslight Inn / Singerman House at 1727 15th Avenue as a Seattle Landmark based upon satisfaction of the following standard for designation of SMC 25.12.350: C. It is associated in a significant way with a significant aspect of the cultural, political, or economic heritage of the community, City, state or nation. D. It embodies the distinctive visible characteristics of an architectural style, or period, or a method of construction. DESCRIPTION Urban Context Located on the west side of 15th Avenue, between E Howell and E Olive Streets, the subject property is situated at the top of the ridge of Capitol Hill, and located several blocks south of Group Health’s Capitol Hill medical campus. The recently constructed Bullitt Center is approximately four blocks south, and the neighborhood retail center extends northward from a block to the north. The neighborhood was developed largely in the early decades of the 20th century, with the platting of wide residential lots for middle and upper income residents. It contained a number of religious buildings, including Congregational, Methodist, and Christian Science churches, and a Russian Orthodox cathedral. Several of these buildings are designated landmarks that have undergone rehabilitations to serve office or residential uses, most recently the First Church of Scientist (1906-1909), at 1519 E Denny Way/1841 16th Avenue. -

MILLER, Editorial and Business GARDEIVS OF MEMORY The gardens are faded and iviltcd Their hroicn beds, moldy and hare With moonlight to create the sadness Of discovering roses once there. And lingering, soft in the shadows On pathways that wind round about I pick my bouquet of an evening With the trembling stars all out. There is something to say of a garden When its petals have fallen from view. There is more in the bii-th of a blossom Than its aroma and delicate hue Surely others have gathered, as I have.
