About: Pioneer Square, Seattle

An Entity of Type: architectural structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Pioneer Square is a neighborhood in the southwest corner of Downtown Seattle, Washington, US. It was once the heart of the city: Seattle's founders settled there in 1852, following a brief six-month settlement at Alki Point on the far side of Elliott Bay. The early structures in the neighborhood were mostly wooden, and nearly all burned in the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. By the end of 1890, dozens of brick and stone buildings had been erected in their stead; to this day, the architectural character of the neighborhood derives from these late 19th century buildings, mostly examples of Richardsonian Romanesque.

  • Pioneer Square is a neighborhood in the southwest corner of Downtown Seattle, Washington, US. It was once the heart of the city: Seattle's founders settled there in 1852, following a brief six-month settlement at Alki Point on the far side of Elliott Bay. The early structures in the neighborhood were mostly wooden, and nearly all burned in the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. By the end of 1890, dozens of brick and stone buildings had been erected in their stead; to this day, the architectural character of the neighborhood derives from these late 19th century buildings, mostly examples of Richardsonian Romanesque. The neighborhood takes its name from a small triangular plaza near the corner of First Avenue and Yesler Way, originally known as Pioneer Place. The Pioneer Square–Skid Road Historic District, a historic district including that plaza and several surrounding blocks, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Like virtually all Seattle neighborhoods, the Pioneer Square neighborhood lacks definitive borders. It is bounded roughly by Alaskan Way S. on the west, beyond which are the docks of Elliott Bay; by S. King Street on the south, beyond which is SoDo; by 5th Avenue S. on the east, beyond which is the International District; and it extends between one and two blocks north of Yesler Way, beyond which is the rest of Downtown. Because Yesler Way marks the boundary between two different plats, the street grid north of Yesler does not line up with the neighborhood's other streets (nor with the compass), so the northern border of the district zigzags along numerous streets. In some places, the Pioneer Square–Skid Road Historic District extends beyond these borders. It includes Union Station east of 4th Avenue S., and several city blocks south of S. King Street. (en)
  • Pioneer Square is een plein en een naar het plein vernoemde wijk in het centrum van de Amerikaanse stad Seattle en is een van de vijf wijken van het stadsdistrict Downtown. De andere vier zijn: Belltown, Chinatown/International District, Commercial Core en Denny Triangle. Pioneer Square ligt in het zuidwesten van Downtown. De geschiedenis van Seattle geeft Pioneer Square aan als locatie van de allereerste bewoning van de nederzetting Duwamps, en dit sinds 15 februari 1852. In het daaropvolgende jaar en zeker voor mei 1853 werd de naam Duwamps gewijzigd naar Seattle ter ere van Chief Seattle. Het lager gelegen, driehoekig plein werd na de Great Seattle Fire van 1889 die grote delen van de stad platlegde, herbouwd met stenen huizen waar houten huizen stonden, en gelijktijdig werd het straatniveau met een aantal meters verhoogd. Het plein ligt midden in een uitgaansbuurt van de stad met vele restaurants en cafés. Het plein is nu als historic district een monument van onroerend erfgoed en behoort tot de toeristische aantrekkingspunten van de stad. Vlak aan het plein is de Smith Tower gelegen, een 149 meter hoge wolkenkrabber, de eerste van Seattle en van het bouwjaar 1914 tot 1931 het hoogste kantoorgebouw ten westen van de Mississippi, en tot 1962 het hoogste bouwwerk aan de Amerikaanse westkust.

  • 拓荒者广场（Pioneer Square）是美国华盛顿州西雅圖一个街区，位于市中心的西南角。此处曾经是该市的心脏：1855年，西雅图的创建者定居于此。取代在埃利奥特湾（Elliott Bay）那一边只有6个月的居民点Alki Point。街区的早期建筑大多是木结构，几乎全部毁于1889年西雅图大火。到1890年年底，已经建起了数十座砖石建筑物；这些19世纪后期的建筑大多为理查森罗曼式，构成了该街区的建筑特色。 这个街区得名于第一大道（First Avenue）和 Yesler Way路口附近的一个三角形的小广场，最初称为Pioneer Place。拓荒者广场-滚木路历史区（Pioneer Square-Skid Road Historic District）是包括广场和邻近的街块的历史区，被列入国家史迹名录。 拓荒者广场街区缺乏明确的边界，大致西到阿拉斯加路（Alaskan Way），超出部分是埃利奥特湾的码头；南到国王街（King Street），超出部分是SoDo；东到第五大道，超出部分是国际区（International District）；北面超过Yesler Way以北一辆个街块，超出部分是市中心其余部分。由于Yesler Way 是两种不同布局的边界，Yesler以北的街道网格与该区的其他街道并不衔接（也不符合指南针），所以该区的北部边界沿着许多街道曲折延伸。 在一些地方，拓荒者广场-滚木路历史区超出了这些边界，包括第四大道以东的联合车站（Union Station），以及国王街以南的几个街块。 (zh)
