Three firefighters, two on a high ladder and one standing amid the buildings ruins, spray water on the charred remains of the Tacoma Hotel, 913 A Street. At 6:19 a.m. on October 17, 1935 a fire broke out in the north end of the basement of Tacoma's most famous hotel. Within ten minutes the flames had spread throughout the north wing of the building. Although virtually every firefighter in Tacoma worked to put out the fire, including most who were off-shift, by 8:00 a.m. the hotel was fully engulfed in flames. The hotel believed by many to be the most beautiful north of San Francisco was totally destroyed.
