The address given by the University of Washington Library is definitely wrong: this is west of Yesler, and the main building shown here was and still is at 89 Yesler Way, not 105-107 Yesler Way. It's the L-shaped building around the Yesler Building (at left in this picture, southwest corner of First & Yesler), usually known as the Schwabacher Building, but maybe after the Schwabachers opened their big shop a few blocks south at 401 1st Ave (in 1906) they renamed this building after Bailey Gatzert, who was an associate and a relative by marriage.

All of these buildings are still extant in 2019.
