The C. C. Belknap Glass Company (also Belknap Industries, Inc.) was a manufacturer of glass products in Seattle founded in 1907 by Charles C. Belknap (1859-1938). The company contributed to the construction of many buildings in Seattle, including the elaborate stained glass windows at O'Dea High School. In this image Belknap employees pose on a horse-drawn delivery wagon, holding a large mirror created for the Crystal Maze at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. The scene reflected in the mirror is the tunnel at the rear of the Public Market on Pike Street. Only two individuals are identified; George Hesson is holding the horse's reins, and Charles Meyer is sitting on the driver's seat.
