Scope and content
ca. 1979. Faded Columbia Brewery mural on side of building, circa 1979. "Everybody knows it's better, Alt Heidelberg," accompanied by a stein lifting image of the company's signature student prince. The "ghost sign" dates back to 1933 when Columbia Brewery was still making its special lager brew Alt Heidelberg (Old Heidelberg.) In later years, Columbia Brewery sold to Heidelberg Brewing and Carling Brewing. The brewery closed in 1979. (TNT 12/18/2005, Soundlife section "Ghost signs beckon Tacoma toward its future")
