Wearing festive party hats, the employees (and families) of the Inland Revenue Service, District of Washington, paid a visit to Ohop Bob Tea House near Eatonville in April of 1922 - not to audit the roadhouse but to enjoy their annual banquet. Built originally in 1915 as a clubhouse for the Tacoma Automobile Club, it became Ohop Bob two years later and remained a popular destination for Sunday drivers. The inn was destroyed by fire in May of 1965 at a loss of $65,000. G24.1-019
