Said buiding is occupied by your petitioners as a Real Estate and Brokerage Office.

Said ground so rented is within the fire limits but isolated and so far removed from other buildings that a wooden structure treated thereon will not in any manner increase the insurance rates or fire hazzard of any other building

Wherefore your petitionsers pray that a special permit be granted them to remove their said building from its presenst location on Lot 4 Blk 38 [Borens?] Add. to the Yesler triangle facing 3rd Street+ Yesler streets Aug 3. 1891
