Head-and-shoulders portrait of Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney Aaron R. Titlow. The mustached Mr. Titlow is gazing steadfastly to the side. He was elected on the Democratic ticket to the office of Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney from 1897-98. Born in Ohio, he journeyed west and arrived in Tacoma shortly before Washington achieved statehood. He is perhaps best known as the owner of the luxury Hotel Hesperides, named in honor of his three young daughters, and built on Titlow Beach in the city's west end. By the time of his death in 1923, Mr Titlow had disposed of all his holdings on the beach to be later acquired by the Metropolitan Park District. The site of the former Hesperides became a community center. Copy of customer print ordered by the Pierce County Prosecutors Office in April, 1961; date of original print is not known.
