Scope and content
A huge tree dwarfs and partially blocks from view the Steilacoom Town Hall in an August 9, 1954, photograph. The white clapboard, two-storied town hall was designed by architect E.J. Bresemann and dedicated in 1930. The neighborhood on Lafayette Street blended both business and homes in a nearly seamless transition. Tennis courts and the town fire department are located next to the town hall while on the same side of the street are family residences. Across the street appears to be a vacant lot with high, uncut grass. Photograph ordered by the Lakewood Log, a weekly community newspaper, which apparently requested views of small town life in Steilacoom.
