Scope and content
This is how the 800 block of Pacific Avenue looked like in November of 1972. In the foreground is the Hotel Olympus which was originally constructed in 1909. A free TV in every room was advertised and food and entertainment available in the coffee shop and the Mirror Room. The hotel was flanked by Dammeier Printing (Print NW) and the Tacoma Beauty Supply. Robblee's Safe & Lock Co. was next to the beauty supply store. Further down Pacific was Ghilarducci's Florists, the Trailways Bus Station and at the end of the street, the old Northern Pacific Headquarters building. Photograph ordered by Western Union, Seattle.
