Priscilla Grace Treat, Seattle, ca. 1920

The Treat family owned a mansion on Queen Anne Hill, a large country estate in Loyal Heights, and were active in Seattle society. This portrait is of the older sister of Loyal Treat, for whom Loyal Heights was named. Born in 1863, Ella McBride began working in the photography field in 1909 when she managed the Edward Curtis Studio. She opened her own studio in 1917 with Wayne Albee. Albee moved to San Diego in 1925, and McBride continued to operate a studio in various Seattle locations. In 1932 she partnered with Richard Anderson; they continued to work together until she retired in 1954 due to her failing eyesight. She died in 1965 at the age of 102. Handwritten on sleeve: Priscilla (Treat). *Subjects (LCTGM): Women--Washington (State)--Seattle; Dogs--Washington (State)--Seattle *People: Treat, Priscilla Grace
