(plan to
transcribe it soon) In 1881, Mrs. FULTON came to Seattle with her son, Walter Sheppard FULTON, to reside with Judge WHITE who was at that time a young lawyer here. The present city was in the beginning and the family lived first in the old Butler Cottage, which stood where the Butler Hotel is now located, Second Avenue and James Street. Later when they moved to the corner of Broadway and Madison Street that locality was reached by a trail from the end of Madison Street, which was at ninth Avenue. As soon as Madison Street was cut through as wagon road to Lake Washington, Mrs. FULTON moved to the shores of the lake building a house on what is known as Denny Place, just north of the Firlock Club. She was very fond of the lake, and trees which she planted about her home there now form a beautiful grove well known to residents of that vicinity. NOTE:
The Firlock Club was located where where Seattle Tennis Club in stands in 2001. The National Society of the Daughters of the
