Looking Back’s theme for 2026 is Downtown by the Decades. This etching is likely based on an 1869 photograph. It was published in 1891, in a special edition of the Olympia Tribune, to show what Fourth Avenue looked like the 1860s. The cupola of Columbia Hall (current site of the 4th Ave Tav) can be seen in the mid-distance on the right (north) side of the street.
