Scope and content
Weisfield's on Broadway underwent extensive remodeling in 1961; view of elaborate dangling ceiling lamps, showcases of rings, watches, and display tables of assorted costume jewelry. The $150,000 renovation of the 45-year-old Tacoma firm included new fixtures, lighting, and glass displays. Their building had been constructed in 1890 and previously housed a furniture store, the Orpheum Theater, offices, shoe and clothing stores before Weisfield & Goldberg Jewelers took occupancy in the late 1930's. The store's name changed slightly to Weisfield's, Inc., with additional emphasis on "credit jewelers." (TNT 9-6-61, A-6,7)
