By process of elimination, the building at the southeast corner of First & Yesler (then Commercial & Mill) would be the one University of Washington Libraries is calling the "Colman Building" here, but I (User:Jmabel) seriously doubt that name; 1888 Sanborn insurance map doesn't give any name, so not easily settled.

Also, the date specified in the title is impossible: that was the day before the fire.
