Scope and content
This is Tacoma Avenue North at 1st Street as it looked in December of 1925. Construction of this $40,000 combination garage and store brick building was started in the spring of 1925. By early September of that year, the Hillcrest Garage and Tacoma Wicker Co. were both open. The Hillcrest Garage, a two-story garage and covered service station operated by William D. Smith and C.C. Duncan, actually fronted Broadway and had the address of 22 North Broadway. A public market, apparently to be called "Stadium Market" per its sign laid against the brick & tile building, was scheduled to open at the corner. In 1927 the new KVI radio studio would occupy a portion of the building. Today, the Harvester Restaurant occupies the northeast corner of this building.
