The top face is all that’s visible as workers with Artech Fine Art Services, reinstall a 21-ft tall “Soul Pole” after a year of storage and restoration. It was reinstalled on the lawn outside the Douglass-Truth branch of the Seattle Public Library at 23rd and E Yesler Way, Tuesday, April 5, 2022. The carved telephone pole was originally installed at the library in 1973. Weather took its toll on the pole over the 49 years. In April, 2021, the library contacted Artech, a local company with expertise in restoration of art works. Soon after, Artech removed the pole and worked to preserve and restore it with the assistance of Corine Landrieu who has experience with totem pole restoration. In 1969, The ”Soul Pole” was the idea of Seattle Rotary Boys Club Director Wilson Gulley, Sr and Gregory X. the club’s art director and was carved by five high school students with the help of Raqib Mu’ied (formerly known as Gregory X), Each of the four carved faces on the pole represent the growth of black person in history, much like a Native American totem pole depicts the life of the American Indian.

Seward Park – torii gate LO – Lines Only – 040222 Sakura dancer Akemi Burns waits for Rep. Sharon Tomiko Santos to finish her remarks before performing at the torii gate celebration at Seward Park Saturday, April 2, in Seattle, Wash. Seward Park used be home to a torii gate that was placed in the park in 1935 after it was built for the 1934 Potlatch Festival in Seattle. The gate stood in the park until the 1980’s when it was removed due to decay. In 2011 participants of the Seward Park Centennial Celebration decided to erect a new torii. The current torii stands in the same place as its predecessor and is built of red cedar from Vancouver Island and basalt columns from Eastern Washington. It is modeled after the famous “floating” O-torii gate in Miyajima, Japan. 220032
