Scope and content
This is how Sixth Avenue at Cedar Street going East toward downtown Tacoma looked in January of 1951. On the left hand side of the photograph is Afton & Jay's Doughnut Shop, which also had a fountain and grill. It is followed in the same building by Buff's Barber Shop, Sixth Avenue Cabinet Makers & Sixth Avenue Realty, and the Sixth Avenue Launderette. A billboard inviting all to enjoy Heidelberg beer is overhead. Further down the street is Loren's Mobilgas. On the right hand side of the street is Gordon's Texaco, followed by Raymond Upholstery and Stebners Inc., linoleum dealers. Central Bank, 2816 Sixth Ave., can be seen in the distance. TPL-9484
