Scope and content
The Park Hotel, 802 A St., as viewed in March of 1927. By 1927, the concrete hotel at the corner of South 8th and A St. in downtown Tacoma was about 19 years old. Designed by architects Heath & Twitchell and built by J.E. Bonnell, contractor, the three-story building with arched windows offered 50 rooms. It had as neighbors the I.M. Larsen & Sons (awnings & tents) at 804-06 A St. and Charles B. Roger, Inc., Willard service station at 808-10 A St. For some reason the hotel was not listed in the 1926 or 1927 City Directories although it was apparently still in business. The Park Hotel would survive until 1977 when the entire block was demolished and a parking lot built. G58.1-092
