Description |
English: Caption on image: Official Inspection Tour of the Seattle City Council, May 1, 1900. 75x Wilse PH Coll 285.79 Reginald Heber Thomson (1856-1949) was born and raised in a Scottish colony in Hanover, Indiana, and graduated from Hanover College with a doctorate of philosophy in 1877. Thomson probably did more than any other individual to change the face of Seattle. During his exemplary career as city engineer and beyond, he leveled hills, straightened and dredged waterways, reclaimed tideflats, built sewers, sidewalks, tunnels, and bridges, and paved roads. He was instrumental in creating the Cedar River watershed, City Light, the Port of Seattle, and the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. In fact, virtually all of Seattle’s infrastructure can be attributed to R. H. Thomson. From 1905 to 1915 Thomson was president of the University of Washington’s board of managers. On verso of image: R.H. Thomson (center) on a trip to study location for a power house, 1902. City Councilmen William H. Murphy (left) and Ellis Morrison accompanied him.
