Scope and content
ca. 1890. A glimpse into Steilacoom's past as two buildings on the north side of Commercial Street, between Main and Balch, were photographed ca. 1890. The smaller building to the right was built by George Weller in 1850 as a butcher shop. Henry Rupp later purchased it and operated a beer hall in it during the 1880's and 1890's. At the time of this photograph the larger two-story building was divided into a post office (on the left) and a butcher shop. There was a residence on the second floor. Both buildings were torn down in 1938.
