The 1890s were a turbulent time for the United States. A rapidly changing country and a deep depression formed the backdrop to what was ironically termed 'The Gay 90s.'

During the early 1890s, Seattle was rebuilding from The Great Fire of 1889. Due to the nationwide depression, business was at a standstill and unemployment was widespread. Many citizens, forlorn and hungry, longed for a way out.
