Scope and content
Dressed in then fashionable bathing suits, employees of the National Bank of Tacoma held their annual picnic at the DeKoven Inn on the east side of Lake Steilacoom in August of 1925. The National Bank of Tacoma was one of the oldest banks in Tacoma. Although the DeKoven Inn, which previously had been a boys' school, was destroyed by a fire on August 2, 1925 the resorts dance and banquet hall was saved. It became the new Inn and much of the property formerly belonging to the Inn was subdivided and sold. (WSHS- negative A916-0) (TNT 8/13/1925, pg. 23-article on Inn)
