Copy of Old Donnelly Hotel, Times, Busselle. This photo was published in the Tacoma Times in September of 1947 to show the street cars that used to run on Pacific Avenue and up 9th Street. In 1947 Tacoma undertook a major project to repave the main "hill" streets in the downtown shopping district. While ripping out the several layers of street surfacing built up since the pioneer days, the power shovels unearthed some of the original ties from the old street car line. The Donnelly Hotel (originally the Fife) stood at the corner of 9th and Pacific from 1897 to 1925. In 1925 it was demolished. The Motoramp Garage was built on the site. (T.Times, 9/17/1947, p.1) TPL-2404.
