Part of Richards Studio Photographs
A large group posed for a portrait in the brilliant sunshine on the rooftop of the Winthrop Hotel in May, 1957. They were part of the Ancient Order of United Workmen convention. The Tacoma Lodge No. 6 would play host to the A.O.U.W. Grand Lodge of Washington with the initiation of 55 candidates, a ball, banquet and other festivities planned. The Master Workman of the Tacoma Lodge was Mrs. Martha Romnes; the A.O.U.W. was an order that served both men and women. The Tacoma Hotel and the 11th Street Bridge can be spotted in the background of this May 16, 1957, photograph. Photograph ordered by the A.O.U.W. (TNT 5-14-57, A-4)
