Scope and content
ca. 1925. In 1925, the "Pacific Rooms" rooming house occupied the top floor of 1317 Pacific Ave with Adolf Miller, jeweler, and Raymer's Old Bookstore below. The building has since been demolished. Although Adolf Miller is listed in the 1925 City Directory as a jeweler, he also appears to have been operating a sort of pawn shop as his signs read "We buy, sell and exchange anything of value." He also did watch repairs. T.E. Walsh is listed as the manager of Raymer's Bookstore. (WSHS)
