This photograph shows the building adjacent to the Puyallup Opera House, at the corner of So. Meridian and E. Pioneer, as it appeared on September 29, 1927. It was home to Hood's Hardware, the Citizens State Bank and the Puyallup City Hall. The Opera House, its onion dome shows at the far right, was built in 1890, at a final cost of $20,000. It was described as, "the finest and costliest theatre building in the state outside of Tacoma and Spokane." It was demolished after being damaged by the 1949 earthquake. The building at the corner is still standing, but has been completely remodeled. Puyallup City Hall (311-13 S. Meridian), Citizens State Bank (301 S. Meridian), and Hood's Hardware (114 E. Pioneer Ave.)
