Scope and content
During World War II, the vital wartime industries in Tacoma ran around the clock. Workers flooded the city, needing places to stay. The Lux Hotel at 1523 1/2 Broadway was remodeled to help provide a solution to the overcrowding problem. The rooms were all remodeled and furnished with twin beds. The hotel was able to house 37 men.
