Scope and content
Interior of Doric Hotel. Deluxe accommodations included double bed, lounge, table with two chairs and two small coffee tables. In addition, televisions with remote control, clock radios, dial phones, glass-enclosed showers, and heat lamps and ceramic tiles in the bathrooms were provided. Each room had wall-to-wall carpeting and electric blankets. The Doric advertised itself as having "the most comfortable beds in the Northwest." Each of the 123 units in the hotel was soundproof. Closed curtains cover large windows which spanned completely across the room's outer walls. The Doric Tacoma Motor Hotel opened in August, 1960, and was managed by Thomas L. Hill.
