Scope and content
Tacoma Railway & Power Company streetcar #319 was photographed on September 4, 1925 as it turned the corner at South 13th & A Streets in Tacoma. Electric streetcars made their debut in Tacoma on February 11, 1890. Prior to that, the cars were either pulled by horses or powered by steam. The last streetcar ran in April of 1938. The building behind the streetcar with its lower floors obscured by the streetcar is the Salvation Army building at 109 South 13th Street. The building in the top right corner, with the pointed roof, is the Puget Sound Bank Building. Boland #B13266 TPL-2681 ("To Tacoma By Trolley" by Warren W.
