Scope and content
This was how the 1100 Block of Broadway looked in June of 1941. The Henry Mohr Hardware Co. building (1141-43 Broadway,) built in 1910, can be seen on the right foreground with the ground floor occupied by the Karnes Shopping Mart. To the left was the Hotel Lansing at 1137-39 Broadway. The bottom floor was occupied by Overland Furniture. The building was built in 1907 and has since been demolished. Between the Lansing and the Blue Mouse was the Phillips Cafeteria at 1135 Broadway. The Blue Mouse was located at 1131-33 Broadway. It was demolished to make way for one of Tacoma's escalades connecting Pacific to Broadway.
