Built by Major Edward Bowes in 1908, the Bowes Building at 100 So. 9th St. has been home to a number of businesses over the years. Before 1920 it was occupied by the Pacific Building & Loan Association, and M. Schmidt & Son Merchant Tailors. In May of 1920, it was purchased by, and became home to, the Tacoma Savings and Loan. Major Bowes became nationally known for the "Amateur Hour" radio program. In the early 1990s the Bowes Building was home to the Pacific Rim Restaurant, and is currently occupied by the Comedy Underground. (TNT, 12/11/1945) TPL-803
