Scope and content
Exterior hotel. The Lincolnshire Hotel and Tavern occupied the Drury Building at 9th and Pacific very close to the Security Building (Provident Building) in the 1950's. It appears from this August 23, 1954, photograph that the hotel was actually on the long second floor of the brick and wood structure with the tavern just below. A large neon sign with the establishment's name juts out from the second floor. Both businesses were listed in the 1954 City Directory as being owned by Mrs. G. Edna Wegley. The Washington Travel Bureau and Claude Harta Photography Studio were adjacent businesses. According to the Pierce County Buildings Index, the venerable Lincolnshire closed in January, 1995.
