Otto took many photos of churches throughout Seattle.

Note the man playing the organ in the middle of the picture and the typographical error in the caption - "Chuch". Otto was writing captions backwards on the glass negatives, and sometimes misspelled words.

An earlier version of the photo shows a broader view:

The caption on this version has the correct spelling.

Edward Mitchell of San Francisco also published a copy of this image. The copy shows more of the scene than Otto's picture, raising the question of whether Mitchell had access to the original negative.
