Scope and content
Exterior view of the ivy-covered Tacoma Country & Golf Club. The Tacoma Country & Golf Club, established in 1894 by Alexander Baillie, is the oldest golf course west of the Mississippi. The clubhouse, as viewed in early June of 1925 prior to the Pacific Northwest open championship, had been completely rebuilt due to a fire in 1909. The new clubhouse, later known as the "Grand Old Lady," included a gracious spiral staircase . It, too, would suffer the same fate as its predecessor - destruction by fire in 1961. A third clubhouse would be completed in 1964. TPL-6261; G54.1-039
