2nd Avenue (Extension), Seattle 1960
Taken from 1960 Polk City Directory
Second Avenue
From Jackson Street to Yesler Way
[I hope I haven't screwed this up. This street is listed in the book as "2D AV", but it's clear that it's the street that is today called "Second Avenue South Ext.", or "Extension" (sometimes seen as "Extended"), not the one called "Second Avenue South", which is also in the book.
[This street runs southeast to northeast, not north to south like the others. Today it starts at 4th Ave. S., but then it started at Jackson just a short ways north. Note also that the street appears to have been numbered from south to north, where it is now numbered from north to south in accordance with all other South streets. This means these street numbers will not agree with today's. I don't think.]
[If you're unfamiliar with Seattle geography, this confusion is caused by the change in direction of all the downtown streets at Yesler, an anomaly caused by disagreements among the early settlers as to how the city should be platted (a similar discontinuity can be found north of the central downtown section, at Denny Way). If I'm not mistaken, the south portion (Pioneer Square, etc., which I'm documenting here) was platted by Doc Maynard; the central section from Yesler to Denny by Henry Yesler, and the north section, north of Denny, by Arthur Denny.]

170 All Nations Cafe - Mrs. Ruby Deligan
172 Casino Cafe - Casino Recreation social club [an important landmark in Seattle's rough and tumble history. In 2009, this underground room at 172 S. Washington St. is Heaven nightclub, but in the 1890s it was the location of a bawdy vaudeville theater run by John Considine, "offering women who danced and sang on stage and then strolled among the playing tables trolling for drinks. Couch-like box seats were deep enough for the men to draw the women inside and then pull curtains for whatever sexual pleasures could be had." (Gary L. Atkins, Gay Seattle [Seattle and London: University of Washington Press, 2003])
Considine's vaudeville was naughtier than the classy sort performed uptown; among other performers, he featured Little Egypt, a nationally-known "coochee-coochee dancer and stripper. He also introduced the infamous Seattle Police payoff system, paying patrol officers for tolerance of his disobedience of the 1894 "barmaid ordinance", which forbade women from working in places that served alcohol. This "tolerance policy" eventually spread throughout every level of Seattle's (and Washington's) bureaucracy until it exploded in 1970 with, among other events, the firing of the Chief of Police Frank Ramon and the arrest of the interim Chief Buzz Cook.
Ironically, the payoff system allowed an underground scene of gambling, prostitution, and gay bars to flourish, in spite of blue laws against them. By the 1930s, the basement of current building was the Casino, a drag bar run by Joseph Bellotti that for the next forty years, along with the Double Header tavern upstairs (still in operation in 2009, see 407 2nd Ave. Ext.) provided a haven for Seattle's gay and lesbian community. The wooden marquee over the entrance still says "CASINO DANCING".]
