The three-story Woman's Club House at 426 Broadway, a Tacoma landmark since the turn of the century, has been razed and only the granite foundations still stand. The wrecking of the frame building brought to light murals reminiscent of "The Student Prince" painted on the basement walls.

The fishermen, who feat bankruptcy and foreclosures of fishing vessel mortgages, met with Gov. Dan Evans.

This Picture is 'Twin" to 'Mystery Photo'
The files at the News Tribune contained this picture identified only as the Woman's Club House, until the publication two weeks ago of a 'mystery photo' with a plea for identification. Now the date and subject of the photo are somewhat established.
The Woman's Club House stood at 426 Broadway until 1961. It had been a gathering place for Tacomans, containing large halls, sitting rooms and dining areas for teas and luncheons and had belonged to the Tacoma Woman's Club House Association since 1915.
