Scope and content
ca. 1907. This view of the west side of the 5200 block of South Tacoma Way dates from about 1907. The Red Front Saloon stands on the extreme left with large signs that advertise full measures sold of Old Taylor, Sunny Brook, King Kentucky and Old Crow, all at reasonable prices. Furnished rooms and lodging could also be obtained upstairs at the Red Front. Other nearby businesses included a tobacco shop, the Mechanics Exchange, the brick Peter Leonard Block building and a rooming house. This block would later be the approximate site of Steve's Gay '90s Restaurant. The bar from the Red Front Saloon was relocated to Steve's. (Photograph ordered by Steve's.) TPL-4762, TPL-5709.
